9.1.3 Files that control terminal logins

9.1.3.4 gettytab

The gettytab file is a database used to describe terminal lines. The std.9600 entry referred to in /etc/ttytab above might look something like:

2|std.9600|9600-baud:\
:sp#9600:

You could modify the default entry to write white on black and personalize your login message with an entry like:

default:\
:ap:lm=\E[q\r\n%h login\72 :sp#9600:\
im=\r\nUTS Workstation Lab\n:
