The .hushlogin, while it did remove the version info also removed the MOTD msg, which was not really what I wanted but I guess thats the best that I could hope for. And to answer some question that were going back and forth on the list as to why I wanted remove the version line, was it for security?....heck no, there are plenty of ways to get that information in fact this computer is firewalled and no one has access to it anyway, it was just an eyesore and on top of that its my computer so I can do with it what I please=) The .hushlogin file does remove the Copyright msg but it also removes the MOTD, Im just surprised there is not a well known easy way to remove the version info and leave the MOTD. In previous posts I also wrote that I tried editing the gettytab as you explained but that did nothing. Oh and by the way thanks Kurt! Regards Alex
