Hi Guys

I have installed Samba on my server and now trying to connect
to the server via Putty.

When I log on a user it gives this prompt

login as: jane
jnangolo@10.109.216.16's password:

-bash-3.2$



I want it to display this:

jane@localhost$

I dnt want it to log in to bash.

root@localhost.......it shud do the same for users.

Help

If you don't want to log into BASH then what do you want to log into?

If you want to see user@localhost then you might have to modify your bashrc script in /etc to tell it to show what you want. Google bash prompt to get some web pages on what you need to change.

The Internet?....

Also, if your accessing a box remotely the prompt should be user@hostname - if u had several boxes open remotely all saying user@localhost it could get confusing

Try to setup PS1 variable, this will solve your problem

export PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
or
set PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
