We wish to implement some kind of message-of-the-day feature in an AppleTalk
environment, and would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to the best
method.
Unless there's a better way, we are planning on an init, which, upon startup,
will find and display a message stored on a server. Is there a clean way
to do this without logging into the server? Could the init mount the message
file remotely? Or would it be better to send the message in some sort of
packet? Unfortunately, these Macs are running 6.0.x.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated -- we're a little overwhelmed by
Inside AppleTalk, so any advice on what protocol level this would be be accom-
plished would be appreciated.
thanks,
