What a terrible idea. My users, who are welcome to ssh into a number of machines at my site, have no need to see that information. RWMJ> Actually I was trying to work out how it's implemented. Get information, append to /etc/motd. You could parse yum output in a cron job if you really wanted it. It would almost certainly be better to mail that information, though, if the admin really wants it. I often go some time without actually having to ssh into many of my server. - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
