Hi,

Does anyone know why the 'if' option in /etc/gettytab doesn't appear to work?

I created a world-readable file under /etc called 'issue.net', then I changed
the default gettytab entry thus:

default:\
        :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:if=/etc/issue.net:im=test :sp#1200:

But it doesn't work - all I get is:

test login:


I've tried quoting the path to the file, protecting the '/'s (e.g. \/' etc.) -
but all to no avail...

Can anyone tell me the stupidly simple thing I've missed?

Thanks,

Karl Pielorz
