I have two questions. First, How to a post a banner msg when my users telnet into my Linux box? I tried putting banner = {file} in my telnet file but that did not work. 2nd: When a user gets done dialing into a system using Minicom and DIP they sometimes forget to end thier processes and just exit out. The next user telnets in and can't use Minicom or DIP (and cant kill the pids because they are not owners). How can I either: A) post a logout msg warning them to run a script I wrote to kill both pids before exiting OR B) Give all users the ability to kill pids regardless of owner (this would be preferred.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
