The problem with this is, boot.local is boot time only initializations. I want the login messgae to contain some color text. (ie, the message you see on the console or when you telnet to the box) Something displays the issue.net file, I do not know if it is getty or login or something else. Red Hat does this know, I have not looked deeply at the Red Hat platform to see how they do it however. -Chuck -----Original Message----- From: T.
