Hi Binu,

I don't know if I understand your question but ...

to configure log system you have to customize /etc/syslog.conf

Here you have some good information on how to configure your log system.

The files you want are:

/etc/motd
/etc/issue

and if your system uses it:

/etc/issue.net

Edit /etc/issue or /etc/netissue.

Sorry the real file is /etc/issue.net, also you can use the /etc/profile, bash_profile or bashrc.

To set a telnet session's options, you need your telnet client to be able to manipulate them!

Those options are usually for the client capabilities.

That being said, you list 'terminal-speed'. What exactally are you trying to do? Normally, the terminal's speed is set via the baud rate the tty can work at, but psudeo tty's are usually a bit different (as the only limitation on them is network speed).

U can use the following escape characters in ur issue or issue.net files

\d insert current day (localtime),
\l insert line on which mingetty is running,
\m inserts machine architecture (uname -m),
\n inserts machine's network node hostname (uname -n),
\o inserts domain name,
\r inserts operating system release (uname -r),
\t insert current time (localtime),
\s inserts operating system name,
\u resp. \U the current number of users which are currently logged in.
\U inserts "n users", where as \u only inserts "n".
\v inserts operating system version (uname -v).


see the man pages of mingetty
