FYI-
We in the government have been enforced to display a warning
message, preferably at/prior to logging in and requiring 'positive
action' ( a keystroke ) to get past. The /etc/issue method does not
handle the lenghty message (about 140 words) that is required.
To get the entire message to be displayed in the CDE login banner
I typed the message into Photoshop as text (6 point I think), then
saved it as a tiff document. I then FTP'ed the tiff file to DEC Unix and
opened with Desktop Apps - Image Viewer. Do 'save as' and select
XPM as the format. This creates a bitmap file. Name it warn_msg.xpm
or whatever.
In Dec Unix (Tru64), mkdir /etc/dt/config/C and
cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources to /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources
Then modify the /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources file like this:
Dtlogin*logo*bitmapFile: /some_directory/warn_msg.xpm
Log out and back in and the login box rescales to show the
entire message.
If anybody wants the xpm file that I created let me know and I will
email it to you.
