Okay, I recently switched to Debian after using RedHat and Mandrake-Linux for 2-3 years... Right off the bat, there are two things I'd like to change.
1) Get rid of the login message that displays at the console after typing in my name and password. I read through /etc/login.defs and there was a reference to a file that I thought this message was coming from, but the file didn't exist. 2) When I logout, I want the screen to clear so that the login prompt is at the top (and it gets rid of any old text that now gets left onscreen). I seem to recall on the Sparcs we used to use that there was a .$SHELL_logout file. Hmmmm, I just checked a RedHat machine here at work and see a .bash_logout file ;-) It's (2) lines, and the second line is "clear". I think I can take care of # 2 myself ! Thanks in advance... more questions likely to come along soon ! Regards Hall Stevenson
