You don't need the source to modify the greeting. It's in /etc/issue for
the local logins and /etc/issue.net for the others. You can use ansi
sequences for it (colors and everything). Try fiddling around with setterm
--color . When you're happy you can use
(setterm ....; echo...; setterm) > /etc/issue
to write a happy colorful greeting.
Probably cp /etc/issue /etc/issue.old is a good Idea.
After logging in, login displays /etc/motd. Can be colorful too, I think.
