ssh changed, bash-2.05b

[10101]

HI,

Tonight our ssh changed which is really odd, by changed i mean:

1) now shows "-bash-2.05b#" instead of the hostname, before you enter a command

2) edit no longer works but pico does

3) when copying files to a place where they already exist it no longer asks if you want to overrite

any ideas what this could be due to or how to fix it?

PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

But now you get the prompt

true but when i log out and back it reverts to "-bash-2.05b#", bash is looking more like freebsd than centos colour wise for the files too.

I ran PS1="\u@\h # " which sorted this, just incase anyone else comes across this.

Thanks for your help Bijo.
