This probably won't get any points for style, but instead of using /etc/motd, you could just as well do this with a small script in your .zlogin/.login/whatever file. E.g. if [ ! -e .hushlogin ]; then IF=`awk '/IFACE *=/ { gsub(/IFACE *= */,""); print; }' setup.client.sh` echo "My interface: $IF" fi HTH Mario _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
