I have a question related to the ls --colors question asked recently.
On my Gentoo system when I'm at the console as my usual user the
username part of the prompt is green, and when I su to root, the
username part of the prompt changes to red. I *like* this feature a
bunch and would like to see it implemented on my desktop system (Fedora
Core 1).
Any clues about this? Is is a profile function or a shell attribute, or
what?
regards,
Beth
