Hi! I have some different questions for which I expect an answer.
I have SuSE Linux 7.3 Pro. First I wanna know how to change the background image at the logging screen in graphical mode. At the startup it's an image from SuSE with a lot of welcome in different languages. If I want to change this, what can I do?
Control centre -> System -> Login manager If you're not logged in as root you'll have to click the 'root' button in the lower right corner and enter your root password to be able to change anything.
What is the startup file of the system where can I put a command that will be executed each time the system startup no matter which user will log in? Example, I want that my PPPoE connection start automatically at boot, where can i put the line to start it?
In general, for things that aren't dependant on anything else you can put the commands in /etc/rc.d/boot.local. That gets run before anything else on bootup. Unfortunately, SuSE doesn't have (by default) an "rc.local" script that gets run *after* the other startup scripts, so if your command relies on other things being active you'll have to create an rc-script for it. But I don't think that's necessary for PPPoE. I'm not certain since I've never actually used it, but if you're using smpppd to dial out it should be sufficient to set START_SMPPPD="yes" in /etc/rc.config and configure smpppd to connect on startup.
In the same way of the previous question, what is the configuration file for a user where we can place command to be executed when the user log in without the user interaction?
If the commands are for all users, /etc/profile.local is probably the best place for it. For individual users, to put their own login commands, there is a file .profile (note the leading dot) in every users home directory that gets run on every login. The man page for the shell you're using can give more specific details on this.
