Not able to get $ prompt for user login

[Pankaj_22]

When I login through user I am not able to get $ prompt in Terminal Window. but when I login through root I can see the # prompt.

what you are seeing in that? echo ${PS1} will give that prompt settings. Are you getting any errors.

Hi Pankaj,

It depends on PS1 variable in your $HOME/.profile. Check that out what in it.

Pankaj,
is the problem that a normal user can not connect, or that there is a different prompt?

The prompt can be set by including for example:
PS1=`uname -n`::`whoami`'> '; export PS1
into the .profile file in the users home directory.

It could be something in /etc/profile or .profile of user. Is the user having home dir on NFS mount??
