Whenever I rsh or rlogin into a new SUSE 9.1 machine, I get masses of stuff being spit out at me - including whenever a dir is changed in the login process, and repetitive enticements to "Have a lot of fun...". How can I shut this off? I've been hunting for an answer for a while but no luck, probably because rlogin isn't recommended over ssh and everyone's trying to deprecate it...:) Yup, I know - ssh would be preferred - it's simply too embedded in our processes at the moment.
