I'm trying to remember how to change my remote "login:" prompt in Red Hat
6.2.

Here's the tty# local login screen with the hostname "sandbox" preceding the
"login:" prompt:

  Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
  Kernel 2.2.14-5.0 on an i586
  sandbox login:

But when I try to connect remotely (ie. via ssh/telnet) I get a "login:"
prompt without the hostname:

  Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
  Kernel 2.2.14-5.0 on an i586
  login:

I've tried altering the default mingetty's in /etc/inittab to "mgetty -p '@
login: ' tty1" but it gives me some kind of AT modem string and I'm unable
to enter a username/password at all. I also don't think changing tty1 to
pts/0 etc would work.

Does anybody know how to customize the remote "login:" prompt in Red Hat ?

Do I have to change something in inetd.conf ?

Thanks !
