Thanks for the assistance!
I got an answer to my first question on changing the CDE login
banner; but I'm still stuck on how to route ppp packets.
Both respondents said to change the /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources file
and change the Dtlogin*greeting.labelString. As I didn't have the
Xresources file under /etc/dt, I just copied the template from
/usr/dt/config/C.
My original question:
>> Greetings, Sun Managers!
>> I have a couple of inquiries I hope someone out there can answer.
>> (Environment is Solaris 2.4 with CDE 1.01, probably update to 1.02
>> soon)
>> 1. How (i.e. what file) do I change the text on the opening CDE
>>login screen? I need to put something more informative on the screen
>>than "Welcome to <systemname>".

Routed doesn't want to send packets forward from the ppp link, so I'm
still in the dark about this one. I'm not sure what to add to the
routing table to have the Sun forward the packets.
Here is the routing table for the system in question:
The Sun has IPs 131.44.49.121 and 192.190.69.249 for ethernet and ppp
respectively
Routing Table:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 04222312 lo0
192.190.69.192 192.190.69.249 U 2 2 ipd0
131.44.48.0 131.44.49.121 U 3 3029 le0
224.0.0.0 131.44.49.121 U 3 0 le0
default 131.44.48.1 UG 0 4498
Any thoughts, ideas? I'll summarize.
Thanks in advance!
