sudo su: When sudoing to root (sudo su), we will get some problems using the prompt. Therefor, a plain prompt is set when using sudo. You can use an alias called 'ss' to sudo yourself to root without this problem. 'ss' will run 'sudo bash -l' which works as expected using the prompt.

If you want easy updates, and maybe want to contribute at some point. Use this method.

ninjab looks for configuration in 4 different places, in this order.

config in its own directory first. Don't edit this file, may be options added in future versions.
/etc/ninjab.conf for global configuration.
config.local in its own directory. If you want any local changes use this. It wont be touched by updates.
~/.ninjab.conf in your home directory.
