Yesterday, I accidentally (as part of a more general yum install invocation with some wildcards in it) ran: yum install fermilab-conf_doe-banner-console This wrote a passage of text to /etc/motd, causing a vaguely threatening message, purporting to constitute a legally-binding contract, to appear on screen at boot time. However, subsequently running yum remove fermilab-conf_doe-banner-console does not remove the passage of text from /etc/motd, and does not stop the message from appearing at boot time.
Well, thanks to Pat's swift production of a new version of fermilab-conf_doe-banner-console (followed by another cycle of yum install and yum remove by me), the text has now been deleted from /etc/motd. Unfortunately, the threatening-sounding message is still appearing at boot time. Digging a little deeper, I think this may be because yum install fermilab-conf_doe-banner-login-screen writes the relevant text into </usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled>, and a subsequent yum remove fermilab-conf_doe-banner-login-screen doesn't remove the text from that file. Pat, I think you're the maintainer of that package too, right? Any chance of a similar fix there, please? -- Kind regards, Dan
