Is there a way to change dlogind's Welcome to Ultrix-32 login banner?
or is it time to adb....

It seems to know about the "default" entry in /etc/gettytab for the login prompt. Note that if you change this radically, you may have to improve the edit script in /etc/rc.local that inserts the ultrix version stuff in the gettytab entry and /etc/motd. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

I would guess that if you wanted to change the "Welcome to ..." part of
the banner, you'd have to adb the binary:
bunny.gte.com $ strings -o /usr/etc/dlogind | grep -i welcome
54685 Welcome to Ultrix-32 (%s)
Although in most cases it seems to gouge the herald out from
/etc/gettytab; I'm not sure in when it uses the other form.
I suppose someone should file an SPR, as the security guys think that
it's a bad idea to announce exactly what kind of thing you are to
crackers. The DDN is removing the "Welcome ..." herald from TACs, I
gather. It is important to note that except for this one detail, the
TAC was perfect. Now, with that tiny concession to civility removed,
the TAC *is* perfect.

Dlogind looks for the :im: entry for the login banner. If it can't find :im: it displays the "Welcome to..." string in the dlogind source. Thanks all! Keith -- Keith D.
