This pretty sure is gonna make many of us mad and we'll have to
ask Alan to use his "torture kit" on you ;P~
Now serious. I think a sound every second, even nice girl's voice,
will be too annoying. AFAIK red blinking color is hypnotic/dangerous
for some people. We all know that root's prompt starts with '[root'
and ends with ']# ', users' prompt starts with their username and
ends with ']$ ' already. I wonder why do you want to "differentiate
root/non-root bash prompts" even more? What about tcsh, zsh, ash, all
shells from /etc/shells [ except /sbin/nologin :) ]?
PS: something like /etc/nologin's idea can be usefull too - type
something like '/etc/root-prompt-warning' before root's prompt?
