Comment 1 for bug 969559

Ran into this again today.

I understand the desire to set PS1 consistently across users, sessions, etc - however this makes changing it harder - since instead of setting it in one place (I was trying to drop it into /etc/profile.d/prompt.sh), this gets overridden by each user's individual ~/.bashrc that they inherited from /etc/skel.

Proposed:

Move any PS1 related settings to the global bashrc, which can then be overridden at later state, and remove from the /etc/skel/bash.bashrc
