Re: [cobalt-users] wish to Cobalt: suppressing "sensitive" information

[Jeff Bilicki <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

/etc/rc.d/rc.local (/etc/rc.local is a mistake, it should be
/etc/rc.d/rc.local) is a bash script that is run every time your 
RaQ (or any Linux machine) is booted.  The following perl
command does a search and replace(with nothing) for the following 
lines in rc.local: 
echo "Cobalt Linux $R" >> /etc/issue
echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue

The correct command would be:
$ perl -pi -e 's#^echo.*>>\s/etc/issue$##' /etc/rc.d/rc.local

This would clear your existing issue files:
$ echo "" > /etc/issue
$ echo "" > /etc/issue.net
