I am suggesting that you *add* the single line
echo "PS1 is set to $PS1" > /tmp/huh
directly after the line reading
shopt -s checkwinsize
In your next email you seem to have done what I've suggested and
reported....
bash-4.2# cat /tmp/huh
PS1 is set to \s-\v\$
It does that ...
You said you have this....
bash-4.2# ls /etc/bashrc*
/etc/bashrc /etc/bashrc~ /etc/bashrc.wrkng
I don't know what /etc/bashrc~ since I don't have one on my system.
Maybe move that to /tmp or something and try again?
I also note that "ll" doesn't seem to work. That is also troublesome
since it would seem to indicate a problem with sourcing the files in
/etc/profile.d. You do have a /etc/profile file?
Another thing to try....
Move /etc/bashrc.wrkng back to /etc/bashrc and then "su -". You'll have
the "bad" prompt. But then type ". /etc/bashrc" and see if there are
any error messages.
