I have a FreeBSD 5.3 installed and I want to show a pre-login text
when user wants to login to the server through a console or telnet.

I made an /etc/issue file and copied some text inside, but when I
telnet to the server, the text does not appear! (/etc/issue has 644
rights).

My /etc/gettytab includes:

default:\
        :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n\Welcome!\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:
        :if=/etc/issue:

Does enybody know where is the problem and how can I fix it?

I will be very grateful if someone will help me or give me a piece of
advice!

I'm not certain it'll do what you want, I haven't played with it, but login.conf's man pager describes a field called login.prompt that seems like it would be worth a try, experimenting.





Did you tell init(8) that you made the change? You need to send it a SIGHUP... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
