CentOS 5.6 profile messed up?

Question

I am running CentOS 5.6 on a dedicated server. I have accidentally removed the profile files from:

/home/USER123

There is only the following files in that directory:

• .bash_history
• .gitconfig
• /.ssh
• /var

Since the other files (I'm presuming there were other files) have been removed the prompt now shows:

-bash-3.2$

Is there a way of repairing this so it goes back to showing:

USER123@SERVERNAME

Answer 1

The system default dot-files usually exist under /etc/skel, so you could try to make a copy of those into the users home-directory.

Answer 2

It show -bash-3.2$ because the link don't work anymore. Try Recreating another user, maybe that'll fix the problem.
