To Change the Welcome Message

By default, the login server displays the message Welcome to host name on the login screen. To change this message:

Set the Dtlogin*greeting*labelString resource in Xresources.

The value of the labelString resource can contain %LocalHost%, which will be replaced by the login server host name, and %DisplayName%, which will be replaced by the X server display name.

The following example changes the welcome message to Here's host name!:

Dtlogin*greeting*labelString: Here's %LocalHost%!

Once the user name has been entered, the login server displays the message Welcome username by default. You can change this message by setting the Dtlogin*greeting*persLabelString resource in Xresources. The value of the persLabelString can contain %s, which will be replaced by the username.

The following example changes the personalized welcome message to Hello username.

Dtlogin*greeting*persLabelString: Hello %s
