The first question I would ask is do you have a .bash_profile or .bashrc file in root's home directory that has been modified? Also, have you done anything to /etc/bashrc ? I'm fairly certain that is where the change from PS1='\s-\v\$ ' to PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ ' should take place. I wonder if it is even being sourced, based on the manner of other problems you've been reporting as of late. -- Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own.
