In your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file you could put: echo "whatever text you want" > /etc/issue echo "whatever text you want" > /etc/issue.net or if your text is in a file: cp /dir/file /etc/issue cp /dir/file /etc/issue.net ===== This message is from Serban Giuroiu, also known online as The Gyzmo. < g y z m o b r o @ y a h o o . com > AIM Screen Name: gyzmobro "Code Smarter, Not Harder" ~~~~~ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
