To change the messages for logins and telnet sessions, just edit /etc/motd.

For ftp messages, by default I think RedHat uses /welcome.msg , so you can
either edit that file or else you should have an /etc/ftpaccess file that
sets a bunch of those kinds of configurations for ftp.  ftpaccess is also
where you can specify logging levels for ftp transers.

As for denying anonymous ftp access, I'm sure there are several ways to do
this--ftpaccess probably has some deny capabilities, so you could probably
set it up in there (do a man on ftpaccess, because it'll tell you way more
than I can), but if not, I guess you could just move, delete or chown/chmod
everything in ftp's home dir.

Here's a handy link with a bunch of how-to's 
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html

Good luck.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how i can edit the messages that appear when someone
logs
in
to a linux server via telnet, ftp? i want to customize it. I'm running
Red
Hat Linux 6.2

Also, how i can see logs of who logged in, what they did (file
transfers,
telnet sessions etc..)
and how i can disable guest logins on ftp etc.?

I guess the bottomline is: how do i manage server processes?

if you have any info, or know of any links, i'd appreciate it. thanks.

Sunny days,
Aditya
