changing system login display

JOHN TURNER_2 — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 09:39:20 GMT

hi

i have aquired a system and it has a security message on the screen, before the login prompt, and was wondering if there is anyway of removing the message without rebuilding the system, as we dont have enough time to rebuild the system.

I have managed to reconfigure the system except for this message.

anyone got any clues

example:

SECURITY NOTICE

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
ccccccccccccccccccc
dddddddddddddddddd
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ffffffffffffffffff

Console Login:

cheers

John,

I'm not sure if you're saying this shows up before the CDE login screen or some other login.

If it is CDE, check /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources to see if that may be the source of the message.

Other places to look are /etc/issue and /etc/motd, but it doesn't sound like either of those.

Pete

looks like it only appears on console not by remote login?

also check /etc/inetd.conf for telnet entry

It may be like this ...

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd -b /etc/issue

remove /etc/issue entry in the above line if at all it is there.

cheers for all the advice, it was in the /etc/issue file

Thanks john
