remove login message
 

hi all,

i installed Slackware 12.1 on my system.

after each login i receive a message ( quotes from people )

1. how do i remove those messages?

chmod -x /etc/profile.d/bsd-games-login-fortune.sh


Pity you don't like them ;}


Cheers,
Tink

i don't mind them, there is just this one that is offensive ( mocking GOD, not very intelligent )

1.2 is there a way to remove only this one or must i remove the lot?

That'll depend on how the script invokes them. In
my install offensive fortunes shouldn't show up;
the line in the script has no modifiers, but only
file-names to choose from. If I *want* offensive
fortunes I need to specify either -a (all quotes)
or -o (only offensive quotes).

If you get offensive ones w/o those switches someone
seems to think differently about offensive than you do -
in that case you should be able to remove those
individually; they're stored in plain-text files under
/usr/share/games/fortunes



Cheers,
Tink

i went to /usr/share/games/fortunes
there i found a file with all of these "quotes"
i'm still busy editing it and making it the way i want it :)
thanx Tink <- keep well
