Hi, this is not really problem, I am just curious. I put the line PS1='<\u@\h>\n<`pwd`>\$' in my /etc/profile. I've got the new prompt for the users on my system, but root still uses the default prompt. Is it supposed to do this? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org . Trouble? e-mail to templin@bucknell.edu .
