Hello all! Is there a way to make my linux drop the <machine name> Login: and just use a plain Login: ? I want to make the login page as clean as possible. No issue, and no motd. This is for a blackbox server... -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

I don't know 100% if this will work for blackbox, as I don't run it, but... Control Center -> System Management -> Login Manager Will let you edit "Appearance" and "Greeting", which appears to be what you want. Krikket

Hmm. I must learn to be more specific.. :) The answer you gave me is correct, IF i use X. But as this is supposed to be a server, i dont run X at all.. So this is the console login we are talking about.. -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

It is possible. Edit your /etc/inittab. In the line where mingetty is invoked for the console-ttys add an option "-no-hostname". ...:/sbin/mingetty -no-hostname ttyX Reload your inittab: # kill -HUP 1 -- Andreas

Actually that could cause problems. This is from the man page... After it has spawned all of the processes specified, init waits for one of its descendant processes to die, a power fail signal, or until it is signaled by telinit to change the system's runlevel. New entries can be added to this file at anytime. However, init still waits for one of the above three conditions to occur. To provide for an instantaneous response, the telinit Q or q command can wake up init to re-examine the /etc/inittab file. So you are better off using telinit q to cause init to reread it's file.

That spawns an error: /sbin/mingetty: invalid option -- n ...repeated 9 times...

Try --no-hostname according to the manpage on SuSE 9.0 and on SuSE 8.2. It is a double - not a single. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account near Huntsville, AL
