Title: RE: [Fed-Talk] RE: 10.4, CAC, and DoD Warning
Property List Editor?
Where do I find that?
I have found in 10.3.9, loginwindow.plist can be opened with text edit.
But in 10.4, loginwindow.plist is apparently a diffent format, as when opened with text editor, it contains garbage characters, no formatting, etc.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
Logon Warning Banner Implementation System supplied methods to display logon banners vary. For Mac OS X this will be implemented in two ways. Using both of these ways will cover the warning banner for both the Aqua interface and the terminal login.
Add a line to the .plist of the login window to show the Warning Banner text on the same screen where the user enters their username and password.
- By Using the Property List Editor
- Open the Property List Editor.
- Open the /Library/Prefernces/com.apple.loginwindow.plist file.
- Expand Root. - Highlight Root and Select the New Child Button.
- Add LoginwindowText as its name.
- Place the Warning Banner Text in the Value Field.
- Save the plist file.
- Editing the motd file to show the Warning Banner after a terminal session is invoked. The system displays the contents of this file via the global /etc/.login and the /etc/profile files, depending on which shell is started.
- Edit, or create, /etc/motd.
- Insert the banner text.
- Write /etc/motd.
- Chmod 444 /etc/motd.
- Chown root /etc/motd.
- Chgrp sys (or bin) /etc/motd.
