custom root shell prompt are for wimps!
This is a philosophical stance, not technical. Having said that, I'd leave the root prompt alone. Putting all that stuff in encourages a certain amount of laziness and sloppiness that you should never have when working as root. Getting used to a customized prompt also messes you up if you ever have to do any work as root on another system that doesn't have your customizations. Heck, this even happens with Mac folks who aren't working on their own systems, especially if they have to deal with someone else's customizations. :-)

custom root shell prompts are for wimps!
If you are logged in as a normal user, Bourne-style shells use '$' as the default command-line prompt. C shell, tcsh (the default for OS X), and other derivatives use '%'. If you are logged in as the superuser, the prompt changes to '#'. |
