Question Telnet banner
Hi!

I have a Tru64 40f box and I am trying to figure out how the banner is displayed after login.

Now the sys admin (who is now gone) has a message that is displayed for all users AFTER login.

In addition to the /etc/issue and the /etc/motd files another file with a longer message is displayed.

Can anyone guide me how/where this third file could be called from ?

[I read the "login, getty, " processes, checked but couldn't find how this was accomplished!]

I have discovered the text file in /etc but I need to find out where it is invoked from......

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!! Smilie

Thanks

Suresh

check /etc/profile. It may be called from that.
