If you're using Debian 3.1, take a look at /etc/profile.  I have a script
"cvsenv" which sets up environment variables for CVS usage.  It also changes
my Bash prompt (PS1).  On fresh installs of Debian 3.1, /etc/profile
interferes with the later function and I have to adjust things (I set PS1 in
~/.bash_profile which takes care of login shells, and I comment out the PS1
line in /etc/profile).


HTH,
