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:
As far as I can tell, that's the province of whatever getty you're
using, rather than /bin/login. A quick check on a handy Slack install
revealed that agetty doesn't support changing the login prompt;
however, ngetty does, qingy might, and fgetty is so tiny that it
should be trivial to hack on.
