- In most AT&T software the initial login prompt for tty ports is in
- /etc/gettydefs.
-
- Is that what you were refering to by "login screen"?

- I don't see any mention of *386* in the header so I assume that you are
- not talking about the PC Console, but that could be in there too. I also
- think the rlogin prompt is defined elsewhere, but I have not needed to
- modify that (yet).
-
- Hope it helps (tm).
