Dear reader,

I'm using redhat 6.0. Yesterday I reinstalled everything succesfully,
but there is one problem. When I login I see the following:

Redhat Linux Release 6.0 (Hedwig)
Kernel 2.2.15-2 running on an i586

localhost login: root
Password:
Last Login: <date + time>

<Message of the day>
0
<=====!!!!!!!!!
[root@localhost /root]# _

As you can see, everything is working allright, except the annoying '0'
at the end of the message of the day. Does anybody know why it appears
on my screen? I already read /ect/motd, but that file doesn't contain a
'0'.

much thanx in advance!

Martin

I didn't loose my mind,
I know where I left it.

also you can check the issue file in /etc/issue

I did change the motd file, but there is no 0 in it. I also checked the
issue file, but that only says

 Redhat Linux Release 6.0 (Hedwig)
 Kernel 2.2.15-2 running on an i586

and the 0 appears after the motd file..

any more suggestions?

Je schrijft in een Nederlandse groep, je krijgt antwoord in het Nederlands.

Staat er een echo $EENOFANDEREVARIABELE in /etc/profile, /etc/csh.login,
~/.profile, ~/.cshrc, of wat voor een shell rc er ook gelezen wordt? Zo
ja, dan echo je een variable die 0 is.

Joost

PS: Antwoord -onder- de gekwote tekst. Of behoor jij tot het deel van
    de Nederlandse bevolking, dat van onder naar boven leest?

I bet you didn't notice the linux.* groups in the Newsgroups:-header?
