You probably want to use # as a root shell prompt and $ for non-root. Another option is to remove the prompt completely.

It would need to look something like this, but I think this probably shouldn't go here, and should instead be an example in pw(8).

72–79

Using prompts in examples is highly undesirable because of copy paste.

If using prompt, using % for user shell prompt is fine, bsd traditional, but # must be used to represent root shell prompt.

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Feb 7 2025, 1:25 AM
