Thanks all !!! MOTD comes AFTER login & ISSUE comes BEFORE login. im= in /etc/gettytab was the correct one to change the ISSUE. BYE THE WAY if you want to change MOTD ( /etc/motd ) you must also comment-out the motd section in /etc/rc.local. Otherwise it will overwrite MOTD everytime you boot your system. Thanks & Best Regards, Brendan Kosowski. -------------------- On Fri, 1 May 1998, Jonathan Chen wrote: > On Thu, 30 Apr 1998, Sergei Shayevich wrote: > > > This screen before the "login:" prompt can be modified by editing /etc/issue on > > the Linux systems.
