Hi > Another question: is it possible to give the user a 'clear screen' firt > before presenting them the login prompt? (What option do I have to setup > in the gettytab?) You have to send the client the following.. ^[[H^[[J ..but you'll have to find somewhere to put control characters in vi (haven't found it yet). The way I do it is ... clear >>/tmp/temp vi esc-:-E /etc/gettytab esc-:-E /tmp/temp use ctrl-w to get to the window with /tmp/temp in it esc-dd ctrl-w find the line to add it at.. esc-P Long-winded, but it's the only way I can find to do it.. btw this might not work on a non-ansi terminal, i've had no problems with it though over telnet sessions, on a dumb terminal etc. > And; does anyone have a www-password-change program? There's quite a few available, try www.perl.com and search for password. L8rz KrOnUs <kronus@null.net>
