source code for /bin/login?



Hi folks,

Due to an extreme amount of idiocy at the place where I work, I have need
to modify the /bin/login program so that instead of displaying this --

adler login:

it will display this --

login:

I have looked through the /etc/login.defs file but can see no options to
eliminate displaying of the hostname.  If someone knows how to eliminate
displaying of the hostname through something like /etc/login.defs or a
flag passed to the login executable, I'd love to hear about it... if
not... well... my next question:

Just where in the Aitch-Ee-Double-Hockey-Sticks is source code for
/bin/login????  Under hamm one can find the binary *package* for
/bin/login under base, something like base/login_983434.deb... but looking
under the base/ directory in the hamm source code directory/ yields *no*
such corresponding package!  Am I completely missing something?  I can't
find it anywhere!  And it's driving me mad!

Note to all systems administrators -- fights over nomenclature are
*stupid*.  Avoid at all costs.

TIA,

adr
