Bug #882: Default $PS1 doesn't work properly

There are two problems with the default $PS1 on OI.

<pre>root at db:~# echo $PS1
${LOGNAME}@$(/usr/bin/hostname):$( [[ "${LOGNAME}" == "root" ]] && printf "%s" "${PWD/${HOME}/~}# " || printf "%s" "${PWD/${HOME}/~}\$ ")</pre>

1: Changing to a directory which contains $HOME as a substring gives wrong prompt:
<pre>root at db:/# echo $HOME
/root
root at db:/# mkdir /tmp/root
root at db:/# cd /tmp/root
root at db:/tmp~# </pre>

2: After 'su', username doesn't change:
<pre>root at db:~# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
root at db:~# su postgres
root at db:~# id
uid=90(postgres) gid=90(postgres)</pre>
