The current time will be difficult. But you could create a file (like /etc/issue.ssh) with the rest of the information in it: echo "This is `hostname`.`hostname -d` ( `uname -s` `uname -m` `uname -r` )" > /etc/issue.ssh You could put the above in local.start to update the hostname or kernel version information at each boot. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
