This may be a stupid question but I don't remember how to do this. How do you get a banner to type to the screen when you connect to the system. This banner would appear before the login prompt. The banner would say something like "This is an authorized system..." then say login: Chris

Which /etc/gettydefs entry is used by rlogind?

None, but then again, you can't print the message *before* the attempt to log in with rlogin/rlogind, as starting the command *is* the attempt to login. -- ROGER B.A. KLORESE MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. phone: +1 408 720-2939 MS 4-02 928 E.

Oops. Make that: "Which /etc/gettydefs entry is used by telnetd??" in which case you do get the same "RISC/os (hostname here)" message as that printed by getty.

How about cancelling that and submitting an enhancement request to exec getty instead of doing the song & dance inline? I did this once upon a long time ago with no ill effects. Its called modularity. rayan

That way any incoming connections can get the msg BEFORE the login prompt is displayed. For ftpd, the daemon would have to be modified to do so. I believe that this has been done here at SGI for a future release. Cheers, Jack P. Weldon (jweldon@sgi.com) Fish and guests grow stale after 3 days SGI Product Support M.F.K. Fisher

You can do what I have done, which is write a simple program that writes a message from a file, then execs /bin/login & use said program to front end rlogind, telnetd &/or login. -- Scott Merrilees, BHP Rod & Bar Products Division, Newcastle, Australia INTERNET: Sm@bhpese.oz.au UUCP: ...!uunet!bhpese.oz!Sm
