RE: Login Banner and Solaris

["Rollins, Mark S CONT (NALC SSG)" <rollinsms () ssg navy mil>]

Hello,

I don't know if there is anything else, but here are 2 things I did on 1 of
my boxes.

I created the directory /etc/dt/config/C. Then copied Xresources from
/usr/dt/config/C to /etc/dt/config/C. Edit /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources and
uncomment (or add a new one) the line
Dtlogin*greeting.labelString  and changed the string to what I felt was
applicable (i.e. "Authorized users only"). This string displays above the
login name box. By default it contains "Welcome to %Localhost%". The
drawback is that the string length is limited. If you get too "wordy" the
characters at the beginning of the string will get chopped off. I wanted a
bit more of a warning, so the second thing I did was create a bitmap to
replace the default bitmap that is displayed to the right of the login box
when logging in. This bitmap contained my complete login (ftp/telnet)
banner. From what I understand the bitmap has to be 237x237 pixels. I
created it on a windows box and converted it to XPM format (it didn't like
windows bitmap). I then placed the bitmap in the /etc/dt/config/C directory
and edited the /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources file. Uncommented
Dtlogin*logo*bitmapFile and added the path to the bitmap.

Hope that helps...
Mark

Hello Everyone,

Been searching for a little bit and can't seem to find a solution to one
minor problem we are having. We would like to have a login banner displayed
on our workstations running various versions of Solaris. We have already
setup banners that get displayed for telnet/rlogin/ftp, but we would also
like a banner to be displayed prior to graphical logins through dtlogin.
Anyone encounter something like this before that they might be able to share
with me? Thanks.
