I believe root is *not* supposed to use sh, and toor may use bash if
desired. Here is how I do the prompts in that case (note: ^[ here is
actually the ESC character in the file, long lines are broken twice
with \):
if [ "$USER" = "root" ]
then PS1="^[[=4A^[[1;41;37m$(date) sh:$(tty):$USER
$(hostname) $(pwd)#^[[0m^[[=1C"
export PS1
xcd() { cd $* ; PS1="^[[=4A^[[1;41;37m$(date) sh:$(tty):$USER
$(hostname) $(pwd)#^[[0m^[[=1C" ; export PS1 ; }
alias cd='xcd'
fi
if [ "$LOGNAME" = "toor" ]
then PS1='^[[=4A^[[=0G^[[=7F^[[1;41;37m\d \t \s\v:\l:$LOGNAME\n/
\H\w\$^[[0m^[[=1C'
export PS1
fi
if [ "$UID" -ne 0 ]
then PS1='^[[=9A^[[=0G^[[=7F^[[1;37;44m\d \t \s\v:\l:$LOGNAME\n/
\H\w\$^[[0m^[[=1C'
export PS1
fi
UID 0 prompts (root and toor) are white on red with a red frame around
the screen, others are white on blue with a blue frame.
As near as I know how to make them alike the prompts are
Date shell:tty:logname
hostname current path #/$
