Of course not. Entry in .bash_profile is adequate to get PS1 set under bash, provided it is run as the user's login shell. Otherwise, one needs the entry in .bashrc. > My assessment is that you may have entered the default shell of > logu as /bin/sh and not /bin/bash.

What is this, then?? binand@laptop1[~]:(1) echo $HOME /home/binand binand@laptop1[~]:(2) HOME=/tmp; export HOME binand@laptop1[/home/binand]:(3) cd ~ binand@laptop1[~]:(4) pwd /tmp Similarly for PATH and SHELL. IMO, the OP has just discovered the difference between a login shell and an interactive shell. He probably ran su logu and su - logu, and observed a difference in his PS1 settings.
