[LAU] [ot] chaing the login-prompt

[Julien Claassen]

Hello!
   I'm sorry, I know I have been a bit off-topicy recently. I promise to get 
better. But there is one question left:
   Is there a way - short of hacking login.c from the shadow package - to 
change the login prompt, which usually says:
hostname login:
   ? I tried and tried, read a lot of stuff, but mostly about the shell prompt 
or the graphical login managers. Any idea about the console? I found francine 
from the fancy login project, but even it only offered "login:" and 
"password:" at certain positions on the screen.
   I eventually ended up building login from source and changing the 
loginprompt, but couldn't get to the "Password:" prompt. I know it's aa bit 
silly, but I simply can't believe, that with so much configurability you can't 
change this!
   Kindest regards
           Julien
