Tips on startup?
I'm running a small FreeBSD 5.1 system @ home. Whenever you log in with a normal account (not root) the system displays a random tip (commands, etc.) after the MOTD. I'd like to turn this feature off so that my custom MOTD fits on one screen. Is this posible at all?

yes it is possible. id guess that this is run from the user's .profile settings file. take a look in the users home directory for the .profile settings, and look in there for the corresponding lines that run the program you wish stop from running.
id suggest you only comment out those lines though, instead of deleting them. you never know, you may want to have those tips displayed later and it would save you some trouble if you just comment out those lines. |

I just made a backup of the .profile and the MOTD file on a floppydisk and deleted the line in the original file:
/usr/games/fortune freebsd tips Or something that looks like that, and now the tips are gone. Thanks for the help! |
