Disclaimer: I'm a n00b when it comes to shells/xterms... I got into customizing my terminals last night (had enough of black on white rxvt) ;-) and followed right into customizing my shell this morning. Unfortunately, now when I su to root, the default prompt character is still '$' instead of '#'.
Here's my current .bashrc file: # .bashrc export PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' umask 022 # Adding colour descriptions to files and dirs export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto' eval `dircolors -b` alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS' # User specific aliases and functions # Makes current directory title of the console # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi How do I make the root prompt '#' again? It used to before I made my .bashrc file. I poked around /etc/profile, but I didn't see anything obvious (it would have to be!). ;-) The OS is Slackware Linux 9.1. Any suggestions?
