Hi ;
      I use bash shell in my FreeBSD machine . How do I change a promt from 
"$" to "#" when I login as superuser  from normal user to root  ?


my .bashrc script looks as following .....

PS1="[\u@\h: \w]\$ "
alias ls='ls -F'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias rm='rm  -i


Another question , what is the function of PS2 and when to use it ? Please 
advise ....
