The syntax is somewhat obtuse; below is an example of mt own "default" line setting: default:\ :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\nSECURE SERVER (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\nSECURITY NOTICE This machine is not for public use\r\nDo not touch this machine\r\n\r\n:Gwydion sp#1200: "default:\" is on one line and the rest on the next line. The whole entry has to be all on one line. and the result comes out as: SECURE SERVER (gwydion.bad.bris.ac.uk) (ttyv3) SECURITY NOTICE This machine is not for public use Do not touch this machine. login: Hope this helps, -Taff.
