  1. problems with \n and \r switch in herald stanza of login.cfg

    Hi,

    I made a standard entry in herald stanza using the \n and \r switch
    but both are not working as expected.

    \n is creating a new line but the new lines starts from where the
    first one finishes eg.

    \r is not being translated by system eg.

    On some old 4.3.3 I have long welcome text.

    AFAIR herald has to be in only one line. Yes, possibly a vary long one.
    And forget about '\r' in login.cfg - use spaces.

    herald = "\n\n Welcome \n\nlogin: "

    for example, if i used the entry you mentioned
    herald = "\n\n Welcome \n\nlogin: "

    it would appear as,

    Welcome

    Please show us your whole default stanza

    It works for me

    # grep ^.her login.cfg
    herald = "\nWelcome to paradise \n\nlogin: "

    # telnet localhost
    Trying...
    Connected to loopback.
    Escape character is '^]'.


    telnet (gruszka)


    Welcome to paradise

    login:

    Welcome to paradise

    login: Connection closed.
