Ubuntu server login screen

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu

Hi,

Im running ubuntu server 8.04 LTS, but I want to change the initial login screen message. How can I do this? Which files do I need to change for this?

So just to be clear when I reboot the server the login text which is then displayed thats what I want to change not the text that is displayed when I login.

No it is'nt any help this is for the gui only I need cli.
But what I have found out is that it uses the /etc/issue, so by altering that I changed the initial message.

So this is ok now.

Now I only want to change the login line.
It now says:
Ubuntu login:
I want this to say only:
Login:

Try /etc/issue

Thats what I typed in my second post.:stuck_out_tongue:

There is an option in /etc/issue that will change the prompt. Do a google on "change login prompt" linux and you'll find it
