From: Michael Smith <msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Date: Thu, 19 Jun 1997 11:57:46 +0930 (CST) set prompt=`hostname -s`:%~\> Something to try sometime: install GNU hostname in the PATH before the *bsd version of hostname. Use that to set root's prompt. It has a very different effect than what you would expect. After logining in as root with the prompt configured like that, the output of `hostname' will be `-s'... (Yes, your hostname gets set to `-s'...)
