Overriding login prompt message 1

[Venus]

Is there away in hp to override the login message? In solaris using pam_get_user(pamh, &user, LOGIN_PROMPT) - where LOGIN_PROMPT is defined as a string in a header file, changes my login message from login to "Program name" login. This function does not have the same effect in hp. Any suggestions.
Thanks

There's a file in /etc named copyright. That is the file that appears after your login has been authenticated and you are actually on the system.

Is that the one you want to change?

bi,
No, the prompt I'm trying to override is the one that asks for your username. It's prior to any authenication.

dear venus
try changing the /etc/issue file.

Try editing the /etc/inetd.conf file and putting a -b option to telnetd service. See telnetd man page

Venus,

I'm assuming you already have this solved, but in case you haven't:

Have you tried the pam_set_item routine? See the man page for this. This looks like it would help you.

Also, to avoid a login prompt to the HP box, there is always rlogin. You could add a command in the user's profile to call the application prompt.

If you have solved your problem, how did you do it?
