The clients are pretty static, as they boot from a CD and do not authenticate anywhere but locally. User-specified MOTD would be the ideal way to go, but since the clients aren't normal clients, it doesn't seem so possible. Reading a text file from the server using ssh at logon will achieve pretty much the same results. -----Original Message----- From: Marty Landman [mailto:MLandman@face2interface.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 1:30 PM To: Feltis, Ralph C.; cpghost@cordula.ws; paulbeard@mac.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Network messaging At 04:21 PM 11/19/2003, Feltis, Ralph C. wrote: >Ahh yes, I see how preparing an elegant solution would provide greater >flexibility. However, Cordula's solution (ssh user@some.host strings >somefile) is about a 15 second fix, whereas setting up a server is, well, >not so much a 15 second fix. Cant' blame me for trying though. BTW can't you easily rig up something to keep the account MOTD's current with whatever the latest images are?
