Login Banner in Graphical Mode??
Hello All,
I need to display a banner of text on Red Hat 9 when in graphical login mode (init 5). I know that /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net are used in the text mode, but I can't find where to mod the graphical banner? Thanks in advance!! Merlin53 |
this depends on what display manager you use for login. also, this is to do a small message, like a single line of text, not a big informational piece.
if you use kdm, edit "GreetString=" in /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc if you use gdm, edit "Welcome=" in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf if you use something else, then i don't know. :) |
Thanks jillande for the info! I'm using KDE on over 20 systems, and need to post a banner on the login screen of all of them.

Well why do u want displaying a msg in graphical way Use simple way to display.
|
Some systems use init 3 (text mode) and some use init 5 (graphical mode). I need to display a notice on the login screen that can be read before login. MOTD will not do what is needed. Therefore I wanted a way to display this on the login screen on both types of logins. If you have a better suggestion, please enlighten me?
thanks, Merlin53 |
well i don't knw properly but you may try by editing /etc/rc.local
find 'touch /var/lock/subsys/local' insert any message (by echoing) and after all echo put >>/etc/issue eg:- echo"Welcome" >> /etc/issue save it copy /etc/issue to /etc/issue.orig |
