OK.... You have an unmodified ~/.bash_profile and a slightly different ~/.bashrc from my fresh install. The differences are not significant. The bottom line is that in ~/.bashrc you have if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc Which should source the file. The place where the setting of PS1 takes place is here....
       # Turn on checkwinsize
       shopt -s checkwinsize
       [ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ]&&  PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
Basically it is saying....  if PS1 is set to '\s-\v\$ ' change it to
'[\u@\h \W]\$ ' .

So, it would seem, one of 2 things are going on.  Either the file isn't
being sourced or it isn't set as expected.

What I would do is modify /etc/bashrc to ....

   shopt -s checkwinsize
   echo "PS1 is set to $PS1">  /tmp/huh
   [ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ]&&  PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

And then perform an su -.




   Ok, is this what you are suggesting I do?

          shopt -s checkwinsize
       #  [ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
          echo "PS1 is set to $PS1" > /tmp/huh
          [ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

   Having done that the prompt is still "bad." I even tried re-booting,
   no change.

       [bobg@box9 ~]$ su
       Password:

       bash-4.2# ll /etc/bashrc*
       bash: ll: command not found

       bash-4.2# ls /etc/bashrc*
       /etc/bashrc  /etc/bashrc~  /etc/bashrc.wrkng

   I saved the original to /etc/bashrc.wrkng. Notice that ll doesn't
   work either, must be related?
