Message-ID: <1993Nov1.190930.16144@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca> Sender: news@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca Organization: SOCS, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1993 19:09:30 GMT Lines: 22 Ok. On occassion, I've set up a small motd to let a few people who login remotely what is going on. I have noticed that whenever the machine is crashed or rebooted, or what-not, the GENERICAHA line eats away at the motd text, from the top down, roughly 1 or 2 lines per crash. The other day, the whole thing got eaten. What is going on here? What modifies the motd, and can I fix this problem at all? No motd no mo, Colin. -- fox@binkley.cs.mcgill.ca Colin Bradley McGill University, Montreal Quality of bubble varies directly with soap solution.
