I'm using gdm for console login. TIA, Bill Tangren -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list Bill, In the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file is a setting that will display a dialog box before login (RHEL-WS 3 & 4): #If InfoMsgFile points to a file, the greeter will display the contents of # the file in a modal dialog box before the user is allowed to log in. InfoMsgFile=/etc/message.txt Where /etc/message.txt contains the message you wish to have displayed. This only contains a 'OK' button so it might not apply in your case. Also if someone walks by and hits the 'OK' button but never logs in, the dialog never reappears. ~smbinyon -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
