Hi folks I'm wondering if it'd be a good idea to have PS1 set to
'${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$(realpath "$(pwd)")\$ ' instead of the default '${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' and make it a suggestion in /etc/skel/.bashrc for those users who want to see the actual current working directory. From a security standpoint you could enter e.g. /home/someoneelse/somedir/ and see [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/someoneelse/somedir/$ in the prompt, but really be in /etc/ if somedir is a (potentially malicious) symlink to /etc created by a different user. It could get quite disastrous if you decide to run something like rm -r * in such a directory. It won't be very helpful with more sophisticated symlink race conditions, but it is better than nothing. Perhaps I should post it to bash package wishlist, what do you think? Peter Kuma -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
