did you log in under root? Or normal user? maybe you want to use "su"?

of course he is loged is as root otherwise it wouldnt be a # at end of prompt

i think he wants to know how he can change the promt from
-bash-2.05b#
to something like
[root@hostname root]#

Red Hat Enterprise actually puts a '#' at the end of the prompt for non-root users.

Edit /etc/pass
you will see: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash2
replace to root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
goodluck

I would export using the PS1 command. I belive the url above lists some exports if not I can show you some examples for bash and how to make them active.

Like export PS1="[$USER@$HOST:] "

should be [root@machine.com:]
