ubuntu-10.04

I am using a vpn service from certain server. I was given with a root account, and when I connect with a root account, the command line looks like below.

root@xa9g82:/etc/#

Then I used useradd to add an account called 'temp' When I connected to the server with temp, then the command line only has a single character.

$

The user information is not shown, neither the path. Also, note that, in root's command line I can use tab to automatically complete the filename, however 'temp's command line inserts tab space, when I press tab. It is very inconvenient.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04. How can I resolve this issue?
