Individual Login Scripts

[sleepingbear]

Hello all,
I'm running Zipslack (itty bitty Slackware)and I want to display a login message but only for one user. I'm not using GUI at all (yet).
How can this be done? I'm thinking that I have to modify a file and put in a few echo lines but I'm not sure where to start.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Use /etc/motd for all users or ~/.bashrc for each user to have a different message.

OK... will try when I boot back into Linux. :)

Unfortunately, I'm one of the lost souls without a "proper" modem thus confined to windows for internet. :(

ok, tried it, got problem:

.bashrc didn't exist. I created one and it didn't make any difference. I verified that my shell is BASH (echo $SHELL).

Is there anything I'm missing?

Check your ~/.bash_profile. I've in mine # Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
