xmotd for Debian ---------------- Xmotd is a message-of-the-day browser for X11 (with additional sysvnews-like support for dumb terminals). It displays a customizable message box which displays each message-of-the-day until the user has read them all, and then creates a stamp-file. By calling xmotd from /etc/X11/Xsession, before the user's startup files are called, xmotd can be used to ensure that users have read the motd's before initiating the X session. Due to the large number of possible installation methods, this package does not install itself. -- Richard Kaszeta , Wed, 23 Oct 1996 13:03:02 -0500 This Debian package actually includes the "xmotd-lite" version of the program. It only means it does not include the HTML rendering widget library, which does not comply with Debian Free Software Guidelines. -- Marcin Owsiany , Sat, 13 Apr 2002 20:29:32 +0200
