| Grex System Announcements - Fall 2003 | 
Sep 24 10:51 UTC 2003 |
This item is for system announcements (new computer equipment on Grex, system upgrades, Grex meetings, etc.). Personal announcements should go back in item 2; Grex system *problems* belong in the next item (#4).

When I use PuTTY to ssh to Grex, I do not see the "last login/failed attempts", the "password will expire in X days" or the "you have new/unread/no mail" announcements. Why don't those announcements show up? Can I make ssh show them to me?

ditto

Me too. I assumed this was a difference between how ssh and telnet requests get handled by Grex. I too would like to know how to get those messages via ssh.

It's a long-standing problem with ssh. There are two possible fixes that I can think of: (1) modify the ssh source code (not a pretty prospect), or (2) a workaround: Somebody writes a program to display the missing information, and ssh users invoke that program from their .login or .profile files.

Can the default .login and .profile be modified to include something along the lines of: if ssh then echo messages

Possibly. I imagine that the user's connection method is known to the system by the time the user's startup files are processed.
