If I needed to do this, could not find a way to do it via configuration settings, and didn't want to hack the login source code, I would try renaming the login binary to something like login.real, and replacing it with an executable script containing something like: #!/bin/csh clear vidcontrol -C exec /usr/bin/login.real "$@" Granted such a hack will need to be redone any time you do an installworld. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
