 Posted: Sun Feb 29, 2004 12:24 am Post subject: post your /etc/issue |
 |
|
I thought I had seen a thread for doing this a while ago, but I can't seem to find it.
/etc/issue for those who don't know controls what the console login looks like.
Here's mine:
| Code: | ^[[H^[[J^[[34;01m ____ __ __ _/"\\_ ___ ___
/ _ \\ / ,\\ / \\|_ _|/ _ \\ / _ \\
\\_ // _// /\\ \\ | | | |_| | |_| |
/ / \\___\\|/ \\_|| | \\___/ \\___/
\\__/ ^[[0;1mGentoo ^[[32m\s ^[[34;01m|_|^[[0;0m \r
\v :: ^[[1m\l^[[0m
^[[1mWelcome to ^[[36m\n.\O^[[0;10m
|
Make sure you watch out for the ^[. You can make those in vim by using Ctrl+v and then Ctrl+[ when in insert mode.
Output:
| Code: | ____ __ __ _/"\_ ___ ___
/ _ \ / ,\ / \|_ _|/ _ \ / _ \
\_ // _// /\ \ | | | |_| | |_| |
/ / \___\|/ \_|| | \___/ \___/
\__/ Gentoo Linux |_| 2.4.22-gentoo-r7

of course with lots more color then that.
Tip: taking console screenshots - as root cat /dev/vcsN > capture.txt where N is the tty number.

My /etc/issue is nothing special, but on my server I have the following script run by cron every hour:
| Quote: | #!/bin/bash
/usr/games/fortune -s > /etc/motd |
Nice little fortune whenever I ssh to the machine.

You can make cool /etc/issue files with linux_logo, like so... | Code: | emerge app-misc/linux-logo
clear > /etc/issue
linux_logo >> /etc/issue |
usefor detailed options. |

| Not really sure what's going on, but since this is kind of related, anyone know why /etc/issue isn't being displayed when I log into my sshd? I've looked around in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and didn't see anything about it, although I tried changing Banner to /etc/issue. Anyone able to give me a hand with this? |

I think you want /etc/motd. |

Yeah, that works. Although it would be nice to have a message displayed before someone logs in.
Thanks. |

Another alternative if you really want issue to display via ssh is to edit sshd_config and set
Banner /etc/issue.ssh
then cp /etc/issue to /etc/issue.ssh and edit out all the colour code, which I don't think will display.
Then when you ssh to your machine you should get the issue showing before you type your user name. Although with putty it seems to show after the username but before you enter your password. |

Most of these posts are copy/paste of what you see when you log out. However, the thread is about posting your actual /etc/issue so someone can easily replicate it.
Just a thought.

I try to avoid being promiscuous with my kernel version. I don't run a getty on tty1 anymore either 
\l is only there because one of the lines is reserved for the superuser only. It makes a handy reminder.

emerge fortune-mod -s
That will list some fortune addons as well.
