cheers for that..

its weird because i installed the same OS on another server an never knew about the rc.local. installed the same OS on this server and it re-created the 2 files each time...

oh well

thanks

On most of our systems /etc/motd is created at boot time to reflect possible changes in kernel version. Check in /etc/rc.local for that script.

usually is /etc/motd. something is going on there, but do the changes and lock the file after that: chattr -i /etc/motd . good luck.

Hello. need a lil advice. normaly i alter all /etc/motd , /etc/issue files to show my own message when i login to the servers

but for some reason or another they wont change. i alter them from ssh login. reboot the server and they are back to defualt. Now normaly they change without any drama's, but on a current server i just got they wont, after reboot the go back to the original state!

is there somthin im overlooking?

ps / OS = CentOS 5
