Re: Problem with su -

OK.... You have an unmodified ~/.bash_profile and a slightly different ~/.bashrc from my fresh install. The differences are not significant. The bottom line is that in ~/.bashrc you have if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc Which should source the file. The place where the setting of PS1 takes place is here....
# Turn on checkwinsize
shopt -s checkwinsize
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ]&& PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
Basically it is saying.... if PS1 is set to '\s-\v\$ ' change it to
'[\u@\h \W]\$ ' .

So, it would seem, one of 2 things are going on. Either the file isn't
being sourced or it isn't set as expected.

What I would do is modify /etc/bashrc to ....

shopt -s checkwinsize
echo "PS1 is set to $PS1"> /tmp/huh
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ]&& PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

And then perform an su -.




Ok, is this what you are suggesting I do?

shopt -s checkwinsize
# [ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
echo "PS1 is set to $PS1" > /tmp/huh
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

Having done that the prompt is still "bad." I even tried re-booting,
no change.

[bobg@box9 ~]$ su
Password:

bash-4.2# ll /etc/bashrc*
bash: ll: command not found

bash-4.2# ls /etc/bashrc*
/etc/bashrc /etc/bashrc~ /etc/bashrc.wrkng

I saved the original to /etc/bashrc.wrkng. Notice that ll doesn't
work either, must be related?
