I'm telling you, it's the variable PROMPT_COMMAND. If his prompt is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] : /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w' with # instead of $ since he's root in this
one. From BLFS, /etc/profile.d/extra-prompt.sh:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "[EMAIL PROTECTED] : ${PWD}\e[0m\a"'
export PROMPT_COMMAND
Which would give [EMAIL PROTECTED] : /root. Which would essentially make the
prompt:
$PROMPT_COMMAND$PS1
The problem is PROMPT_COMMAND, as I know, is supposed to show up in
the title of a terminal. Unfortunately, in current BLFS (6.1), I
don't believe it works. There was another post a while back about
this. Ah, now I've found it
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2005-September/011488.html
There's not a solution given in that thread, but I think this is the
situation the poster is seeing. Try
mv /etc/profile.d/extra-prompt.sh{,.off}
