I have a SPARC 5 with Solaris 2.6 installed. Near the completion of the boot process (Just prior to the login screen) a previous Administrator has installed a warning message (this is not to be confused with the OEM-Banner message). I cannot locate the path to change or delete this message. Any Ideas?

Try looking in /etc/dt/config and /usr/dt/config (I assume the message is coming up after the Xserver starts but before dtlogin). Use something like

"find /etc/dt/config -depth -print -exec grep something_in_message {} \;"

Generally, the 'normal' files are in /usr/dt and customized files are in /etc/dt.

If that doesn't work, look for differences between the config directories. One of the config files might be launching a program which displays the message. If there's a title on themessage box try find/grepping for it.

Happy Hunting!
