I have a machine that for some reason is giving a login prompt (lower case L) instead of Login (upper case). I have searched for the file that this prompt would come from but can’t find it. Also note I only get this using Ethernet connetion, Seriel connetion will give me Login (upper case) Any ideas…?? I am still learning, but this is driving me crazy.
Thanks,
What version of QNX ? “uname -a” would help.
You mentioned this only happened using Ethernet connection. Are you telneting, sshing, or using other connection method?
uname -a
QNX 1 G 423 PCI 32
Telnet session
Both the Ethernet and Ser are Telnet sessions usning ProComm, but same results from DOS, etc…
I just tried on my QNX 4.25 box, both console and telnet login shows a “login:” (lower case L). Looks like the /bin/login in QNX 4.23 prompt “Login:” as you observed. While the telnetd (part of tcpip) gives “login:”. If you can post “sin ver” output, we will be able to see if your tcpip is on the same version.
On the other hand, I don’t see much a problem with prompting “login:” or “Login:”. Why you worried?
We have a lot of auto login scripts and procedures that log into the systems thru a loop, and the lower case is getting it fouled up. Actually both login and password are lower case. I can modify scripts also, but thought I could use vi to edit a file and make the login > Login. I have the sin ver from 2 machines, one has upper case one lower case appear to be the save versions though. Faulty box is first…

does this data help at all? Any suggestions on how to correct that lower case L in login to make it upper case? Thanks…
Use spatch to look through login (the program) and find the string with the upper case ‘L’ and change it to a lower case?
I seem to recall this was a feature of the older QNX versions. You can also make your scripts accept [lL]ogin depending upon the scripting language.
Rick…
