This is taken from issue(4): ------------- issue is an ASCII file that is read by program getty and then written to any terminal spwned or respawned from the lines file. FILES /etc/issue ------------- That means you can't use /etc/issue for telnet sessions (since getty (actually ttymon) is used only for hard-wired terminals). Anyway, I'm also interested in equivalent of /etc/issue for in.telnetd. -- greetings, miso. E-Mail: Andrej.Misik@fmph.uniba.sk
