Title: Configure bash prompt for non-root user?
Post by: cactus on January 27, 2007, 10:38:15 PM

I have installed the remoteuseraccess panel and have created a user for remote login. After login  the prompt looks like this:

Code: [Select]

-bash-3.00$ but I would prefer the one like the root user:

Code: [Select]

[user@server currentdirectory]#
Can some one tell me what templates I need to modify for this to be effective?

See
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x157.html
on how to customise the bash prompt.  This can easily be done on a per user basis in ~/.bashrc which would not affect the templates.

Thanks for the link, but I know how to customize a bash prompt. I really like it to be templated so not to customize every user and I thought it perhaps already was.
