Would it be possible to add some logic into linuxrc that will, say, catch line ERRORMGS='no image found for this machine, contact LDAP administrator' in config.<MAC>, and regardless other settings display this message on screen before any destructive changes are made (like harddrive partitioning)? It should probably wait for user input or for timeout, and then shutdown. In general, the idea is to provide user some specific information during linuxrc boot, with the possibility to abort the process, wait for user input, etc. If this is too complicated, it may be sufficient to add a 'postloadconfig' hook at the end of the load configuraton step (#9), provided the config file could be accessed by hook script and no permanent changes to the system are done before it.

Just one more thing, I though it may be nice if it was possible to print newline characters, beeps, colors, etc, so one can be more creative with the output, e.g. like this :-) : ERROR_INTERRUPT="\\n \\e[41;1m ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! \\e[40;0m \\n \\e[33;1;5m*** alien live form detected :-)***\\e[41;0;40m \\n \\a" I have added the patch in the attachment, basically just echo -> echo -e in the Echo procedure. Do you think it will be ok to let Echo procedure print escape characters in this way? I am not sure if this implementation won't break something.. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have slightly changed the patch to shift the arguments maybe we need more echo arguments in the future and it shouldn't break things that way will attach the patch, could you test it ?
