When I change the prompt for root's .cshrc file in the jail it works as expected. if ($?prompt) then # An interactive shell -- set some stuff up set prompt = "# %/ >" set filec set history = 100 set savehist = 100 set mail = (/var/mail/$USER) if ( $?tcsh ) then bindkey "^W" backward-delete-word bindkey -k up history-search-backward bindkey -k down history-search-forward endif endif But when I start the jail and login to the jails host console and issue "pw adduser test -c jail-user -m -g wheel -w yes" the user does get created ok. Now when I login to the jail over remote ssh to the just created user account I get the % prompt, then su to root and get the set prompt = "# %/ >". I want that same prompt for all user I create in the jail. I tried putting the set prompt = "# %/ >" statement in the jail user account /home/test/.cshrc file log out and back in to no effect. Them I put the set prompt = "# %/ >" statement in the jail's /usr/share/skel/.cshrc and created a different user account using the same pw command, still no joy. Then I just added the set prompt = "# %/ >" statement in the jail's /etc/csh.cshrc and created new jail user account and still no joy. I even tried putting the set prompt = "# %/ >" statement as the last line in the files so it was out side of any if statements with no joy. No matter what I do to the config of the jail files it makes no difference when I use ssh to login to the jail user account. Anyone have any idea what I any doing wrong? Or is this just now jails work? Thanks
