Could someone explain what's going on?It looks as if "/etc/iceweasel/profile$" is the beginning of the command line, not part of the bash prompt (which consists of the "debian:/etc/iceweasel/profile#" string).
I saw that too. Whenever I run "su" the prompt loses the user name, i.e. holtzm@debian:/etc/iceweasel/profile$ su Password: debian:/etc/iceweasel/profile#This doesn't happen with ubuntu or fedora, which I also have on this box. Since I recently installed debian, this is the first I've run into it. Oddly, I tried changing perms on other files after becoming root and had no problem. So far this /etc/iceweasel/profile$/bookmark.html file is the only one giving me a problem.
Thanks for your reply. -- Bob Holtzman The most dangerous ones aren't the ones who don't know. They're the ones who don't know that they don't know.
