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?
