Hello,

In BLFS-6.2, Chapter 3 - The Bash Startup Files, the
/etc/profile.d/extra-prompt.sh provides interesting results.  I must
have had this problem a dozen times now, and since it is a simple fix
haven't reported it until now.  As written, if the user follows the
entire instructions on the page to the letter, the following prompt is
produced:

@viper : /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/#

As soon as /etc/profile.d/extra-prompt.sh is removed, the prompt looks
much more readable and reasonable:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/#

I looked hard for any warnings about this.  I'm wondering what the
true purpose of the extra-prompt.sh script is.  I'm a big fan of a
colorful but simple prompt, but this one seems broken in the way it is
implemented.

Thank you,

Craig Jackson
