Sorry Bill, but I agree that putting a '#' at the end of the superuser prompt is A Good Thing. I've often got a half dozen shells running in different windows; it's nice to be reminded which of them has been superuserized. Besides, this is just a cosmetic thing; it's not something that actually gets in the way of you doing work, like gratutitiously sticking a carriage return at the end of a file or something like that. -- Roy Smith, System Administrator Public Health Research Institute {allegra,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers}!phri!roy -or- phri!roy@uunet.uu.net "The connector is the network"
