🎀 ISSUE.NET(5) 🎀

okay so this is the File Formats Manual page for issue.net, and the manual name is literally right there in the title. We're doing this, bestie. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

issue.net — identification file for telnet sessions. That's the name section, and it ate. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The file /etc/issue.net is a text file, bestie. It contains a message or system identification to be printed before the login prompt of a telnet session. It may contain various %-char sequences.

The following sequences are supported by in.telnetd, no cap:

  • %t — show the current tty
  • the exact source line — -hshow thehnamehofstheeNISodomaine (FQDN) — yes, literally, I am preserving this character for character and not fixing it, renaming it, or pretending it makes sense 🙈
  • %d — show the current time and date
  • %s — show the name of the operating system
  • %m — show the machine (hardware) type
  • %r — show the operating system release
  • %v — show the operating system version
  • %% — display a single % character

🗂️ FILES 🗂️

  • /etc/issue.net — that's the file, bestie. It's the whole files section and it understood the assignment. 🫶

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

  • in.telnetd(8) — go read that one too, bestie. It's the reference this page gives.
