Of course :) If you're using the C shell/tcsh shell, edit
/usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc so it reflects your favourite prompt. For
example, since I like to know who I am and where I am, mine says:
set prompt = "%B${USER}@%~%b: "
As you create users, the files in /usr/share/skel are copied over to
their new home directory, but the word "dot" is changed to "." So I
usually create a dot.xinitrc and place it in there as well.
