banner page

[donC_1]

logon banner page
I forgot where to go and change it?

[S.K. Chan]

The file is ..

/etc/issue

[Helen French]

Two files to check:

/etc/issue
/etc/motd

Hi:

If you mean the 'telnetd' login banner, edit 'etc/inetd.conf' accordingly to add '-b ':

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

...The above would specify 'etc/issue' as the banner.

To enable the change, do:

# inetd -c

Regards!

Hi Melanee,

There are two places where you would want to display banner.

1. Console

/etc/issue will take care of it

2. Telnet/ftp etc.,

for telnet, modify /etc/inetd.conf for telnetd line to add -b /etc/issue

... telnetd -b /etc/issue

For ftp, you will need to activate ftpaccess file. In /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess add

banner /etc/issue

Modify /etc/inetd.conf for ftp to reflect ftpd -a at the end.

Refresh inetd 'inetd -c'

CDE's banner page is by default the /etc/copyright file.

Either you may alter the file content to display annother text or you may configure CDE to display some other file.
