Changing the CDE login screen

This security issue also affects the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) users. The CDE login screen also displays, by default, the host name and the operating system version. To prevent this information frombeing displayed, edit the /usr/dt/config/$LANG/Xresources file, where $LANG refers to the local language installed on your machine.

In the Example assuming that $LANG is set to C, copy this file into /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources. Next, open the /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources file and edit it to remove welcome messages that include the host name and operating system version.
