 |
|
As the title shows, for some reason when I logged into my server today, the prompt was extremely weird:
And as root it was:
Normally it should be:
| Code: | | username@hostname / # |
and
My bash prompt is just the default gentoo setup one so I can't imagine what it could be. Maybe my hostname not resolving properly? Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

This is really weird.

What's your PS1? and have you tried sourcing /etc/profile?

For colored, try this in your ~/.bash_profile: | Code: | | export PS1='\[\e[32m\]\u@\h/\[\e[1;31m\]\w\[\e[1;34m\]\$\[\e[0m\] ' |
or this, no colors:
| Code: |
export PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '

Thanks for the responses, the problem just solved itself when I rebooted my laptop. So I have no idea what on my laptop could have caused the prompt on my server to be screwy. I think it might have had to do with my laptop not properly resolving the server's hostname? Not really sure, at least I think I can rule out that the box was compromised.
