.bashrc and .bash_profile have identical contents in /root and /home/user. What causes the difference? Why? How does one change the default so that all normal users get a [userid@hostname pwd]$ prompt?
I have loked in/etc/profile.d and /etc/bashrc and I cannot see what condition is triggering the different behaviour.
Create a file called /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm
with contents
#!/bin/bash echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD} [ `tty | sed -e "s:/dev/::"` ]\007"
watch for line wrap in e-mail
You can edit to suit your taste but the above gives
[molloyt@mufc ~]$
Then make sure your users have bash as their shell in the password file not sh.
