Easiest way would be to replace the getty line for the first virtual console in /etc/inittab with a program (a shell script should work) that runs your telnet command. Note that said program would run with root privileges by default, so you would want to wrap that in an "su" command or similar, to run it as an unprivileged user. > and the second part of the question is about changing terminal colors ? Umm... okay, what's the question? Do you want to know how to set the colors for the console, or if the console will support color changes from the remote end, or what? :-) BTW, your auto-signature is hosed. I get a few lines of binary garbage at the end of your message, after your nominal signature ends. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
