Replace lb.conf and issue.net over your configuration.

THIS IS FOR LIGHTBAR 1.10.2000 ONLY. You may experiance problems with any other versions.

YES i ripped the ansi logo off from prevail but that was the only ansi i had on my system at the time so bite me :-). Anyways, hope you enjoy.

WHAT I DID:

I ripped off the logo from a ansi from ACiD 55/4b or something then pasted the logo created the neet little box in the lower corner with the login:... and Password:... prompts etc.. then i added those macros you see manually at the top.

I First set LoginPrompt and PasswdPrompt to "" so lightbar doesn't print out anything for a login or password prompt because i've already made one in the ansi box and there's no need for it to print one out.

I set the PasswdChar to "," Set the LoginLength to "22" so they couldn't exceed 22 characters while typing in the login name. I set the PasswdLength to "19" so they couldn't go over 19 characters on the Password (just so they can't type out of the box drawn up.)

i set X to "54" to go 54 spaces over. then i set Y to "19" to go 19 lines down, effectivly positioning the cursor into the box before getting the login name. :) Then i set XPass to "57" to go 57 spaces over. then i set YPass to "20" to go twenty lines down. XReturn and YReturn i left at 0 and made ReturnMessage blank so it doesn't say anything on a incorrect login. i Set ReturnLogin to 22 periods so it'll clean up login parameter on a incorrect login. I also set ReturnPasswd to 19 so lightbar will clean up the password parameter on a incorrect login. I also set ReloadIssue so the issue.net will be refreshed each time there's a incorrect login.

One last thing; i set NewLine to "4" so it'll space 4 lines down before printing out the lastlog information etc and logging us in. Just so the lastlog information doesn't overlap the ANSI box and logo etc when there's a correct login. :) You could easily add a status box and configure ReturnMessage and XReturn YReturn to print out incorrect logins etc.. but i'm lazy ;P

TO TEST THIS OUT:

copy issue.net to /etc and lb.conf to /etc (or wherever your lightbar configuration files exist at.) then either log out to a local console (agetty) or just execute 'telnet localhost' to do a network login to your own system. This'll show you how some of the X,Y cursor positioning features work :-). (i personally don't use this but people sometimes find this nice.)
