Cool Logon information


Hi,
I am running RH 7.1 and was wondering if there is any way of getting a little information box up at the logonscreen to show network connections etc without loging on.

I have seen this before on my school's server which runs SuSe

Please could you help me!

thanx

You would need to be running some sorta program (possibly in cron, or run by init / your getty) that rewrites /etc/issue so it holds the relevant information. Not sure exactly what you would use to do the rewrite though!

Jamie...
