Terminal SSH not showing full path on remote server

Hi,

I just updated to macOS 16 and now when I ssh into a host, it doesn't show me the file path of my current working directory. This used to be the default behavior. Does anybody know how to get it back? (where the $ is there used to be the username and the cwd)

This was because my ssh server (ubuntu) was using /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash. Run sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash to reconfigure.

Note - not a Mac problem
