I'm planning on using my BSD box for free shell accounts and what I need is for when someone connects via SSH/telnet something along these lines pop up Welcome to ninjaBSD. If you are a new user please login with new login: Only real thing I have found in regards to changing the message is editing the default: line in /etc/gettytab but that didn't seem to work, in ssh anyway, didn't try in telnet/local login situations. So anyone who knows how this can be accomplished/if it can be please let me know Oh its freebsd 7.0 "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." -Albert Einstein Tech Ninja Security

(UGN Security was here) Open your SSHd Config: nano -w /etc/sshd/sshd_config Add in a line pointing to your banner: Banner /etc/ssh/sshd-banner Save the file and restart your SSHd server: /etc/init.d/sshd restart Test by logging into server; it should respond: Welcome to NinjaShell!

On a RedHat Linux (or derivative, such as CentOS, RHEL, or Fedora) machine, it should simply feed out what is in the "/etc/issue.net" file as the Telnet Banner. Donate to UGN Security here.

However it only displays the message after the person tries to login IE: login: user Welcome to NinjaBSD! Login with new if new user password: in the gettytab man pages it specifies something about using im and if however both are already specified and the if string is currently pointing to the banner. Here is a c&p of my current gettytab default:\ :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200: :if=/etc/issue:\ "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." -Albert Einstein Tech Ninja Security
