You should leave it alone, and create a private ~/.bashrc in /root if you want to customize the environment for user root. /etc/bash.bashrc should be used for systemwide customizations that affect all uses, and even then you are better off creating a separate /etc/bash.bashrc-local to contain your local changes and modifying /etc/bash.bashrc to call your local script. /etc/bash.bashrc is fair game for the Linux distributions to change at any time. > And I want to change pronpt.(user=root) > Now displayed testlnx:/etc # , want to change to testlnx:/etc $. > Which file should I change?? DON'T. The prompt is DELIBERATELY different for root to warn you that you are running with no safety net You really WANT to know if you're root. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
