Maybe I have got this wrong somewhere, however wouldn't it be possible to drop a script in /etc/profile.d that runs "uname -a" for interactive shells? * Easy to understand. * Easy to change. * Simple to implement. However: * motd will display first. This won't be the first line of the output, does that matter? * I think this won't work for, e.g. zsh users. At least not on my tests on a wheezy box. -- Brian May <br...@microcomaustralia.com.au>
