Logout and then back into your account. Your administrator obviously "hardened" your profile. Unless, you use another shell environment like ksh or pdksh (korn). What is your prompt sign?

The standard UNIX shell prompt is a dollar sign ($), except for C Shells which prompt with the hostame and a percent sign (%).
