=======================================================
NOTE:
=====
Because "A 'welcome' page has been proven to be an invitation
to come your system, thus making it legal to hack into your box."
you may want to use the "-private" arg when running Welcome2L
to display an "Unauthorized access is prohibited" line at the bottom
of the ANSI screen.
USING THE -xmasauto OPTION:
===========================
[ From Kevin (Barthel) Knerr <ld_barthel@usa.net> ]
> No matter which distribution you use, the -xmasauto option is
> useless if you only run Welcome2L from a boot-time rc file --unless
> you boot your system every day. What you really want to do is to
> update /etc/issue daily without rebooting. Here's how:
>
> 1) Edit your boot-time rc file to use Welcome2L as per
> the directions for your distribution above. E.g.:
>
> /usr/bin/welcome2l -xmasauto -getty -msg"Slackware Linux 3.2" -cpu"Cyrix 6x86L" >/etc/issue
>
> Note: The -cpu option is one of my personal modifications to
> Welcome2L.
>
> 2) Create an entry in root's crontab file to rewrite
> /etc/issue every day. E.g.:
>
> # Update /etc/issue with Welcome2L (ensures -xmasauto works!)
> 0 4 * * * exec /usr/bin/welcome2l -xmasauto -getty -msg"Slackware Linux 3.2" -cpu"Cyrix 6x86L" >/etc/issue
>
> Note: I update at 4am because I work 3rd shift and login after work.
>
> If you haven't worked with (Dillon's) crontab before, do the following:
> a) login as or su to root (if you su, cd to root's home first)
> b) crontab -l >crontab.ori
> c) cp crontab.ori crontab
> d) edit crontab, add your new crontab entry, and save
> e) crontab crontab
> This will ensure that you don't lose any default crontab entries from
> your distribution.
