See the /etc/motd textfile and change it to whatever you want (or delete it). You may also check your rc files. On my system (debian woody distro), there is a /etc/rc.S/S55bootmisc.sh that updates the motd at bootup.
Minh Quang. Pour : "Debian User" <debian-user@lists.debian.org> cc : Objet : New to Debian -- simple questions Okay, I recently switched to Debian after using RedHat and Mandrake-Linux for 2-3 years... Right off the bat, there are two things I'd like to change. 1) Get rid of the login message that displays at the console after typing in my name and password. I read through /etc/login.defs and there was a reference to a file that I thought this message was coming from, but the file didn't exist. _________________________________________________________________ "This e-mail is intended for the exclusive use of the individual or entity named above and may constitute information that is priviledged or confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure .
