Hi, thanks for yor reply. Yes /stc/issue is a System V thing present anyway in Linux and other unix which are derived from BSD like Digital Unix OSF. Anyway there is under BSD a file replacing the porpouse of /etc/issue for System V ? is possible under FreeBSD to have some message displayed before the login prompt?? there is some way to do it? thanks Rick On Fri, 30 Jan 1998, Norman C Rice wrote: > On Fri, Jan 30, 1998 at 01:38:49PM +0000, The Administrator wrote: > > > > Hello, > > I have this problem. > > If I write a banner message in /etc/issue > > it is not displayed to me before the login prompt > > loggin on my host.
