From my root .bashrc:
# Following sets prompt to [userid@host dir], and puts the full
# user@host:/full/path/spec in an xterm title bar.
function proml
{
case $TERM in
xterm*|rxvt|eterm|wterm)
local TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;\u@\h:\w\007\]'
;;
*)
local TITLEBAR=''
;;
esac
PS1="${TITLEBAR}\
[\[\033[7m\]\u\[\033[0m\]@\h:\W]\
\$ "
PS2='> '
PS4='+ '
}
proml
unset proml
export PS1
For a nonprivileged user, I replace PS1 above with:
PS1="${TITLEBAR}\
[\u@\h:\W]\
