displaying text on login

1997-12-22 Thread Aaron Walker
is there a way to display text when the login prompt shows? For instance, on my machine the hostname is chaos. When I boot, it says: Debian GNU Linux 1.3 chaos tty1 chaos login: How can I change it to say, for example, Welcome to Chaos.net!? Also... How can you change what it says after you log

Look at the following files: /etc/issue /etc/issue.net /etc/motd There is manpage for issue and motd to help you out if you need it. Dennis -- dpk [EMAIL PROTECTED], Systems/Network | work: 353.4844 Division of Engineering Computing Services | page: 222.5875 On Mon, 22
