Ken,

I have the folowing in my /etc/profile to handle this:

if [[ "$LOGNAME" = "root" ]]

   then

       PS1='# '"$(hostname)"':${PWD}==>'

 fi

This puts the hostname followed by a : followed by the current
directory.

This is an AIX question:

How does one set-up the root # prompt to display "pwd" (print working
directory)??

Someone out there must know this.

Using AIX 4.3.3
