By this I mean when someone firts encounters my machine i would like to display that "Welcome blah, blah, blah.... Login as guest Password is guest" I tried to set this up by putting a file in /etc called issue and then I sym linked it with issue.net (also in /etc), to no avail. Does some one have the answer? ThanX for your time! Timothy M.
