Changing the welcome message on the login screen
To prevent displaying certain information on login screens, edit the herald parameter in the /etc/security/login.cfg file.
The default herald contains the welcome message that displays with your login prompt. To change this parameter, you can either use the chsec command or edit the file directly.
The
following example uses the chsec command to change the
default herald parameter:
# chsec -f /etc/security/login.cfg -s default
-a herald="Unauthorized use of this system is prohibited.\n\nlogin:"
To edit
the file directly, open the /etc/security/login.cfg file
and update the herald parameter as follows:
default:
herald ="Unauthorized use of this system is prohibited\n\nlogin:"
sak_enable = false
logintimes =
logindisable = 0
logininterval = 0
loginreenable = 0
logindelay = 0
Note: To make the system more secure, set the logindisable and logindelay variables to a number greater than
0 (# > 0).
