set up a welcome message on my linux box
Hey,
I have accessed my friends linuxbox frequently (suse) and comes up with a welcome message when you log in. Eg login: asdf password: ******* thank you for logging on to my computer -- enjoy! Where is that message? I want to put one on mine, just for fun! at first I thought the message was in /boot/message, but I looked there and it wasn't . I have looked in LQ and on Google but I haven't found out how to do it. can someone help? thanks Hamish |
Hi,
It is whatever is in the /etc/motd text file. Edit that with something like vi, vi /etc/motd Then logout and log back in! EDIT: By the way, "motd" stands for Message of the Day. |
thanks peace,
that was great help. I have already edited the file!! cheers. hamish |
