but how can i change -bash-3.2# to root@hostname

Hi,

what is the output of echo $PS1

you can also type bash and enter

You can create a .bashrc file in your root directory
containing

Code:

PS1="\[\u@\h:\W]# \[\e[0m\]"

Hi,

You could setup a .bashrc & .bash_profile for your user;

Code:

sample .bash_profile;



~$ cat .bash_profile

# .bash_profile

#08-30-06 12:21

#

# Source .bashrc

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

        . ~/.bashrc

fi

Code:

sample .bashrc;

:~$ cat .bashrc



#.bashrc

#08-30-06 12:20 



# Add bin to path



export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$HOME/bin"



#export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"



# Dynamic resizing

shopt -s checkwinsize



# Custom prompt

#PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '



#08-29-06 11:40



if [ `id -un` = root ]; then

  PS1='\[\033[1;31m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] '

 else

  PS1='\[\033[1;32m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] '

fi



#

# Add color

eval `dircolors -b`



# User defined aliases

alias cls='clear'

alias clls='clear; ls'

alias ll='ls -l'

alias lsa='ls -A'

alias lsg='ls | grep'

alias lsp='ls -1 /var/log/packages/ > package-list'

alias na='nano'

alias web='links -g -download-dir ~/ www.google.com'

#To clean up and cover your tracks once you log off

#Depending on your version of BASH, you might have to use

# the other form of this command

  trap "rm -f ~$LOGNAME/.bash_history" 0



#The older KSH-style form

#  trap 0 rm -f ~$LOGNAME/.bash_history

The .bashrc is very useful! I like to use the .bash_profile to test then use the .bashrc.
