To put messages on the X screen at login, use fortune | xmessage -file -
to put the box on the screen. To make this part of the default login sequence on gnome, figure out how the Gnome config file ( /usr/share/gnome/default.session) works and add it. BE VERY CAREFUL in a live environment, as it is quite possible to rewrite this type of file to completely break GUI login. Do this on a machine that other people aren't using, and have another way to log in via ssh. You may also want to learn about "failsafe" mode. If you want a fun challenge after this, figure out how to display random fortune quotes in a box on the login screen. :-) Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > i just installed a game or what ever was that called Fortune it > gives a nice messages when invoked ...now i want that is gives > messages when ever anyone logs in his x windows ....i want it to > display the message in a window > _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
