Your setting look like it is clearing the screen and when you use sudo it is not using your settings
Here is a cool thing to try with your .profile as well
#PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`':^[[31m${PWD}#'^[[33m
PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[36m${PWD}#'^[[33m
#PS1=^[[32m `uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[31m${PWD}#'^[[33m
alias ll='ls -larti'
I have this setup in my profile because it adds colors to my profile
The way to set this up is to do the following on your system as you can not just copy this config
In your home dir
tput smso >> .profile
tput rmso >> .profile
vi .profile
at the end of your profile you will find the control code for the tput settings
^[[7m ^[[33m
Depending on your setting this may look different
Split the 2 functions
^[[7m Now you can change this 7 to numbers (31 - 36 ) for different colors
^[[33m
Now using this change your PS1 to look like this
PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[36m${PWD}#'^[[33m
Cat .profile and see if you like
Cheers

rpccp_remove_profile
remove profile(1m) remove profile(1m)
NAME
remove profile - Removes all profile elements and the profile from the specified name service entry
SYNOPSIS
rpccp remove profile profile-entry-name [-s syntax]
OPTIONS
Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name
syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.
ARGUMENTS
Indicates the name of the target profile. For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-relative
name.
DESCRIPTION
The remove profile command removes a profile (and all of its elements) from the name service database. The entry name of the profile is
required.
Privilege Required
You need write permission to the CDS object entry (the target profile entry).
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following commands run RPCCP and remove the profile named /.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile: $ rpccp rpccp> remove profile
/.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile
RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: add element(1m), remove element(1m), show profile(1m)
remove profile(1m)
