add msg to login screen 1

[sirrom]

I want to add a message to the login screen as below.
What’s the file I have to edit to achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.


# telnet remote machine
Trying 999.99.99.99
Connected to remote machine.
Escape character is '^]'.

Sun UltraSparc 450/2 x 400MHz 1024Mb Memory

Solaris 2.7 (Sun OS 5.7)

-------------------My message here--------------------------

I think there is more than one way to do this.

Right now the only thing I can think of is /etc/issue.net

issue.net will display a login message. However there is a way to edit the server string

"Sun UltraSparc 450/2 x 400MHz 1024Mb Memory"

If I can recall where it is I'll post back.

good luck

Hi sirrom,

just put your message in the file /etc/motd and you will see the contents of this file after logging in.

Just remembered

edit /etc/default/telnetd

This is what I use

BANNER="Unauthorized access prohibited\n\nAll activity is logged.\n\n"

or

BANNER=""
will stop your host from displaying the operating system name and level when someone telnets to your system:

Should do the trick
