Hello!

I just want to add a login banner to my Red Hat 7.2.
But I have no idea where I have to go???

something like:

=-----------------------=
Warning
--------------------------
The programs and data on this system.....
Unauthorised acces....
If you are not an authorized user,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOGIN IN.
---------------------------

user name:

Someone know how to do that ????

write the banner that you want as a file and put it somewhere logical. then edit /etc/rc.local and at the bottom add a line like:

cat /root/loginmessage >> /etc/issue

that'll do it. /etc/issue is that file that is shown at a login prompt
