Customizing login quotes

[LordHatrus]

How does one customize the login quote-thingies?

You know, the quote things you get when you first login, without X and everything.

google wasn't much help to me, due to my not knowing what they're called.

Yay. It feels good to be back on neowin after a half-year hiatus...

edit: Sweet jesus, my PM inbox is HUUUUUUGE....

You can use /etc/motd to place text that will be shown when loggin. Also /etc/issue has something to do with that kind of messages, but I'm not sure about when it's displayed exactly.

It depends. Usually, it's done with the "fortune" program, and ~/.login will run fortune as the last thing it does before you enter the login shell.

Yay! I found the answer to my easy question.

Files are found in /usr/share/games/fortune.

and the only other thing to do is edit the script in /etc/profile.d/

Thanks, zeta, for the name of the app.
