Hi, Can anyone tell me how i can edit the messages that appear when someone logs in to a linux server via telnet, ftp? i want to customize it. I'm running Red Hat Linux 6.2 Also, how i can see logs of who logged in, what they did (file transfers, telnet sessions etc..) and how i can disable guest logins on ftp etc.? I guess the bottomline is: how do i manage server processes? if you have any info, or know of any links, i'd appreciate it. thanks.
