Under ISC UNIX, getty prints out the contents of /etc/issue on all appropriately configured terminals and virtual screens. uugetty, however, doesn't. I would really like to present a 'welcome screen' to people who dial in to my system, including the disclaimer that the system is for authorized use only, etc, ad nauseum. Is there anyway that I can get this message printed through uugetty, short of putting the whole thing into my gettydefs file? -- Kevin L.

If you are running OS release 2.02, you can request asy update disk X5. This permits simultaneous inbound and outbound uucp, logins, etc, and uses regular getty, which uses /etc/issue. I am not in support, but believe that OS release 2.2 already includes this capability. Neal
