How do I format the prompt at level 3? One of my accounts has it right, but not the other. I guessed that it was in .tcshrc which was missing from the bad account so I copied it from the good account, but it made no difference.

depends on what shell you're using.... bash uses $HOME/.bash_profile

Its bash. Following from .bash_profile to .bashrc to /etc/bashrc, and noting that at level 3, $TERM=linux, I should be calling /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-default, if I have one, which I don't.

But root gets it right, and myUser gets it wrong.

cd; grep -i .*

shows only the .tcshrc which I should have realized is not the one. So how is root getting it right?
