Greetings all!
I'd like to tweak /etc/motd to give ssh users a personalized login text.
Perhaps something like;
FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #0: Sun Feb 9 19:32:05 CET 2003 (This already exists
of course)
{username}, Welcome to FreeBSD!
Blah Blah Blah
I notice that "last login" is the first line in this file,=20
<snip>
Last login: Thu Feb 13 13:55:22 2003 from 131gorio.dsl.provider-name
</snip>
yet examining the file itself doesn't show how this is achieved (if it
did, then I would play with it and try extending the functionality)
Can anyone suggest how the above could be accomplished?=20
I'm no shellscripting guru, so it needs to be *reasonably* simple :-)=20
Regards & TIA,
-Colin
