On my system, the prompt is set automatically whenever a person logs in by a line in the script .bashrc. My root prompt (defined in /root/.bashrc) is deliberately set to be different than my normal user prompt. So yes, as I said, "my command prompt also changes when I become root". > But I take it from your last section that you are actually getting all > your email from /var/mail/, right, since if Not from /var/mail, but from the local filesystem, yes. I keep my mail in mail/ in my home directory. > Didn't really seem worth it. Why did you? I don't think you understand my setup. My linux box is a fully functional mail server, attached to the Internet 24/7 and running Postfix. There is no need for POP or IMAP or anything like that. -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
