 |
|
hello,
Strange thing here. My bash prompt displays the full path to my home directory, and not ~. My .bashrc contains the following:
PS1='[\u@\h - \w] '
so I would expect
[pmj@sarlacc - ~]
when in /home/pmj, but instead it reads
[pmj@sarlacc - /home/pmj].
Anyone with any insight?

not to answer myself, but if anyone else ran into anything similar, I found out the answer:
my home directory in the passwd file was /home/pmj/ and not /home/pmj. The ending / made all the difference!
