Hello,

I would like to change the default "Password:" string at login. (not
just the lm= in /etc/gettytab). Unfortunately I do not know where to
find it - I only found the login: string in the login.c source - but
not the password string. I guess it is in some library but I couldn't
find it in any either.
I'd be glad if someone could offer me a hint - thanks in advance!
Regards,
johannes

/usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/local_passwd.c:
p = getpass("Old password:");
/usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/local_passwd.c:
p = getpass("New password:");
/usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/local_passwd.c:
if (!strcmp(buf, getpass("Retype new password:")))
/usr/src/libexec/login_passwd/login.c:
password = getpass("Password:");
/usr/src/libexec/login_reject/login_reject.c:
getpass("Password:");
/usr/src/libexec/login_radius/raddauth.c:
passwd = getpass("Password:");

Thank you very much for your quick and helpful answer, Peter.
/usr/src/libexec/login_passwd/login.c was what I wanted. (I only
looked in /src/usr.bin/login/login.c)
