How do I stop this? You shouldn't. Someone becoming root is a serious issue. If your system is not connected to the net, and never will be, then you can edit /etc/syslog.conf (read the manpage) and change where messages get sent. > 2) Where are the login promptings kept?

You've just typed 'myname', it's right there on the screen in front of you. Anyway, you'll need to modify the source for the 'getty' and/or 'login' programs to change the prompts. > 3) I know that "The Regents of the University of California" > hold the copyright, how do I stop a telnet session from > telling me that every time I login? > > Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 > The Regents of the University of California.
