bash prompt after ldap authentication
 

Hi,

could someone help me with the following:

why after user is authenticated by ldap server, i see the
bash prompt?

How could I fix this?

[root@rh1 ~]# ssh jake@192.168.122.194

jake@192.168.122.194's password:
-bash-4.2$

Many thanks!

After you run any command in the command-line terminal it's normal to see the bash prompt.
Just like in my example when I queried the system for my network card.

What distribution are you running?

what do you expect (to happen)? with ssh you have just logged into 192.168.122.194 and have got a prompt. What do you want to achieve?

Hi,

thank you for your replies! I was expecting to see something like this

[jake@rh3 ~]#

you need to set PS1 to configure it.
see man bash about it, or https://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ps1.html for example

I have entered the

export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

in the ~.bashrc in /root

is that correct?

syntactically correct, although double \ is not required.
usually PS1 of root contains # and user's PS1 contains $, but obviously you can use what you set.

it doesn't work for me, I copied paste it and then access it by ssh jake@192.168.122.194
but result is the same.

because that is another user (jake), not root, so you need to set PS1 in ~/.bashrc of that user.

Many thanks it works now!

What worked?
