How is /etc/issue linked to the CDE login screen

Looking for the relationship between the /etc/issue file and the CDE login screen.
I copied the Xaccess file to /etc and edited it so only some host can connect. In the process I lost my link to /etc/issue.

Re: How is /etc/issue linked to the CDE login screen

The /etc/issue
is related to the getty process, used when somebody telnet to the system (welcome):

GenericSysName [HP Release B.11.11] (see /etc/issue)

see

# man issue

Hope this helps!

Re: How is /etc/issue linked to the CDE login screen

Are you saying this file is NOT used for CDE logins?

Exactly.

You can type in this file whatever you want, it's only a kind of welcome text.

Hope this helps!

Re: How is /etc/issue linked to the CDE login screen

I don't have telnet but I get the same message on ssh and Xwindows, so can you tell me where the content is coming from?

Re: How is /etc/issue linked to the CDE login screen

CDE uses "dthello" which , by default, displayes the contents pf "/etc/copyright"

or

you can point to /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources
