Yesterday, I accidentally (as part of a more general yum install

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?
I'll take a look!
Pat
