My thanks for replies go to Jay Leafey, Oisin McGuinness, Collins Robert
The answers talk about /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. These files
contain the text displayed before the login prompt, but I have no /etc/issue
or /etc/issue.net in my host configuration...
The other file where modified prompt is possible, is /etc/gettydefs but I can
see difference in this file between two stations with the same OS ...
The definition of my hostname in the prompt seems to be in this line:
console# B9600 HUPCL CS8 CLOCAL IXON OPOST ONLCR # B9600 SANE IXANY TAB3 CLOCAL
#\r\n\r\n%v (%h) %t\r\n\r\n\rlogin: #console
and specialy %h: the hostname variable
but I don't anderstand why this variable is wrong...
I try by myself a solution with CDE environnement
I insert in /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources this line:
Dtlogin*greeting.labelString: Welcome to KEVIN
!!######################################################################
!!
!! GREETING
!!
!! Dtlogin*greeting.foreground: black
!! Dtlogin*greeting.background: #a8a8a8
Dtlogin*greeting.labelString: Welcome to KEVIN
!! Dtlogin*greeting.persLabelString: Welcome %s
!! Dtlogin*greeting.alignment: ALIGNMENT_CENTER
It is not a resolution of the problem in fact, but the result is good when I see
the console log!
Best Regards,
Josiane Tack
