Hi

I was wondering if it is possible to have f.ex TUX in ascii-art in this file (motd) and then color it in the same way one can colorify the bash prompt f.ex:

[1;36m\\nREADY\n\ (I think :-))

Here the tekst READY has the color cyan.

Would it be possible ??

(Hope you get my point :-))

-=-=-=-=- Yes! Actually it's a little more complicated from jest writing the above. (If exist an easier solution PLEASE send it) What I have done is writing an app in C++ using the ncurses library that dumps in the screen a color penguin. The color penguin can be shown executing every time the app or sending the output of the app into a file 'cpeng > foo' and then using the cat command 'cat foo' for displaying the penguin. The problem with this is that although you don't need to expert on C++ (or even know C++) the designing of complex pictures can be done very difficult (but simple ASCII art - like a word or a Christmas tree with one or two colors it's much more easier) If you want it I can send it to you (and every one else who wants it) Oh, smth else: You can't use the motd file for this but you add a line like 'cat /home/user/foo' in .profile or /etc/profile so that the image 'foo' is diplayed every time you log ;-) -- Nicholas 6:51pm up 5 days, 3:45, 6 users, load average: 1.57, 1.32, 1.19 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I don't think that /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net is the solution. Let's remember the original post: Roman wants the login prompt "hurricane login:" to become only "login". That is, prevent the hostname to apear on the prompt line. The man page for issue is clear: ISSUE(5) Linux Programmer's Manual ISSUE(5) NAME issue - pre-login message and identification file DESCRIPTION The file /etc/issue is an text file which contains a mes sage or system identification to be printed **BEFORE** the login prompt.
