I am trying out FreeBSD 2.2.5 and have the following questions : 1. How can I stop system messages ( eg. Login Failure Messages, etc... ) from appearing on root's console ? This is very annoying when it happens while editing a file. I have tried "mesg n" but that didn't work. 2. How can I change the MESSAGE BANNER which appears just before the initial login prompt. I have tried making an /etc/issue file but that did not work ( I have used /etc/issue on other Unix systems successfully ). 3. Is it possible to have multiple dummy interfaces ( eg. lets say I want to assign 10 different IP addresses to the one PC ) so I can have VIRTUAL HOSTS ? Thanks & Regards, Brendan Kosowski.
