Help: How to disable the banner message

[Stark]

Hello,

I was wondering how I could disable or modify this message that shows when I log in

Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994
        The Regents of the University of California.  All rights reserved.

I've already modified the /etc/motd but it still shows up.

Don't be afraid to check the man pages.

[CMD=""]man login[/CMD]

Immediately after logging a user in, login displays the system copyright
     notice, the date and time the user last logged in, the message of the day
     as well as other information. [B] If the file .hushlogin exists in the
     user's home directory, all of these messages are suppressed. [/B] This is to
     simplify logins for non-human users, such as uucp(1).

[CMD=""]touch ~/.huslogin[/CMD]

...should do it.

Try removing/renaming/setting different path for copyright and motd files in login.conf and maybe set

update_motd=NO

in /etc/rc.conf. For example, copyright is set to a non-existing file by default for a reason:

r70189[/url]"]There was, and should be, a distinction between the OS copyright message and the message displayed gratuitously to each user at login. Because, well, they may be different, among other things, and boy can a copyright message each login consume some screen space. If people really want to do this, they can copy /COPYRIGHT to /etc/COPYRIGHT.
