> How do I configure console to clear screen before it displays login prompt? > I know how to do it during logout but how to do it when booting up? I usually create an /etc/issue file with one character - a CTRL-L. This has the effect of clearing the screen before displaying a login prompt (under cons25 and vt100 emulations, at least.) If you're using FreeBSD 4.2 or earlier, you'll have to edit /etc/gettytab for this to work. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
