Getting rid of system info at login screen

[Michael Campbell]

Folks

Just above our login prompt, there is a line which states the output of uname -nrsvm
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

Any Help Appreciated

Michael,

Check in /etc/profile to see if it's coming from there.

No, I did get rid of some other rubbish from in /etc/profile but the info I want to stop is coming up before the login prompt so I was thinking that it was something to do with getty perhaps. I looked at /etc/issue but that doesn't seem to be it either. Any other ideas?

Hi,
#strings /etc/gettydefs
look for any relevant string.

Sorry Michael, my head wasn't screwed on straight yet. You did say "before" the login prompt!! I'll go get some more coffee and check back.

Micheal,
The login command is calling uname at login which means that it cannot be changed.

Modifying /etc/gettydefs will only change the "login" prompt. It won't affect the uname output.
Example:
H # B9600 SANE CLOCAL CS8 IXANY TAB3
# B9600 SANE CLOCAL CS8 IXANY TAB3
#login: #H <--- Modifying this line
will produce similar results:

HP-UX wrong B.11.00 U 9000/K580 (ttyp3)

login: root
Password:
Please wait...checking for disk quotas
Copyright message goes here....

New Login:

I think there was an ER to change this behavior. I am still looking for the ER # and will post back if I find it.

Everybody should do this:


This is for telnet :
# vi /etc/issue
WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED USE PROHIBITED

and not as default :
HP-UX server B.11.00 blabla

# vi /etc/inetd.conf
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd -b /etc/issue
# inetd -c

This is for CDE:

# cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources
# vi /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources
Dtlogin*greeting*labelString: "WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED USE PROHIBITED!"
# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc reset
