Malkiat, I first of all the answer to your query. The 'issue' file you're editing is dynamically edited during boot time. So if you want a customized message you edit issue in your rc.local file. Write the folliwing in your /etc/rc.local
echo "" > /etc/issue.net echo "your message" >> /etc/issue.net This should serve your purpose. As for ctrl-D (Exit) option you need to add the same lines in your /etc/bashrc file. okay, second. My friend you really need to stop sending HTML messages on to the list, before someone takes some action against it. You've been doing it for quite some time now, despite people telling you not to. Please Don't, it is bugging. - Prateek ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
