Fubar Terminal after upgrade

[kenny]

'Last login:' is coming from /usr/bin/login. I don't know if there's a way to turn it off (and I like it there, so I'm not really looking for a way ). I run ksh, and it shows up there; mucking about in profiles and .rc files for the various shells probably won't do you much good.

I only get the last login when I ssh or telnet to my machine. If i just open a new terminal window, I don't see it. OSX has always done this and I sorta like it as well.

Anyway, like kenny said, if it shows up under different shells, then it won't be controlled by the /etc/csh.* files.

The wierd thing is, it doesn't show up on my PowerBook. The main difference between the installs (pb vs. desktop) is that I did a complete 'Erase and Install' on my PowerBook and just an 'Upgrade' on my desktop...

It is a preference setting for the Terminal.app

I guess the lesson here is to always check the prefs first ?

That's not it. The preference setting in Terminal.app will prevent you seeing it (probably because it doesn't come through login the same way), but it's still there (I still say in /usr/bin/login). The proof? I use PuTTY on my Windows machines to do SSH, and opening a connection from there still shows the 'Last login:' bit.

But, whatever. If the Terminal pref does it for you. Just don't come crying to me when it turns up again...

Ya, I get it when I SSH to the box too, but I also get:


Last login: Sat Aug 24 01:32:42 2002
Welcome to Darwin!
TERM_PROGRAM: Undefined variable.


I wonder where I define that?

Well if you have an empty file called .hushlogin in your home directory, you shouldn't get any messages at all when you log in.

So i figured it out.

/usr/share/init/tcsh is gone.

The preset tcsh alias, rc, envronment, and the others are now in: /usr/share/tcsh/examples/

The funky error went away after I partially followed the instruction in: /usr/share/tcsh/examples/README

/usr/share/tcsh/examples/README makes mention of /usr/share/init/tcsh but since it isn't there it doesn't matter.

if you still have ~/Libradry/init/... follow the instructions at the beginning of /usr/share/tcsh/examples/README with make use of you personalized shell setting.

Whheeeewwwwww!!! I thought I had lost my mind. holmBrew, you have saved my bacon! When I upgraded to Jag, all my Terminal settings seemed to be lost, forever. Nothing worked the way it was supposed to, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks loads.
