Hi Rav,

You can put the following line in your .profile file:

export PS1='$HOST:$PWD:#>'

This will give you a prompt with the machine hostnam followed by your
current working directory (For example: "aixserver:/home/rav:#>").

If you want this to be applied to all users on this server, you should
put this line in the /etc/profile file.

Regards,

Art

What's the login shell of your users? For csh use: set prompt = "$cwd >"
