System login banner
Hey I am running fedora 13 and I am having trouble changing the system banner.
I have looked into it and I was told to edit the /etc/issue file, however I did and it is not working. Is there a step that I have left out? Any help given is most appreciated Thanks! |
How...
You need to describe exactly what you did and what then happened if you want a qualified answer. All the detail are important. http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Ask_a_Question |
heres mine:
Code:
[schneidz@hyper nfs-w]$ cat /etc/issue |
server1 # echo "test" > /etc/motd
and try make ssh connection to the server1 from other location |
So login message and the banner are seperate files?
I think I was just confused /etc/issue is for login message not banner right? |
Where is the message and banner suppose to show up
because it does not show up during or at login |
Quote:
SSH uses a banner option in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and you *CAN* have it use the /etc/issue file, or have a different one that's displayed for SSH, while the system one is displayed for telnet. Update: Since I knew I did this before on the console, you can go into the GDM or KDM configuration tools, and set a "welcome" message (banner), to be displayed after GUI login. A bit dated, but still should give you an idea: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-...in-banner.html In KDM, I *THINK* you can do it through the GUI as well. |
Thanks everyone for your help
I was just looking at wrong screen Did not realize it displays only at text login :S |
