<title>Shell Prompts</title>
+ <para>The shell prompt used in the example text indicates whether a
+ command can or should be executed by a regular user, or whether it
+ requires superuser permission to run. Also, the machine type is often
+ included in the prompt to indicate whether the command should be run
+ on a client node, on an MDS node, an OSS node, or the MGS node.</para>
+ <para>Some examples are listed below, but other prompt combinations
