Setting Echo/NoEcho for User Entry
You can determine whether your entries will appear by enabling the echo for user entries.
The default is to echo all characters.
To enable the echo, enter
echo
at the system prompt. Everything you enter will be displayed. For example, if you enter
history
at the system prompt, it will be displayed on your terminal, as shown in the example below.
/ %history
If your terminal echoes characters locally it is a good idea to set the UI to noecho to avoid
repeated characters. To disable the echo, enter
noecho
at the system prompt. For example, if your terminal echoes characters locally, you would see
something like the following if you entered history.
/ %history
If your terminal does not echo characters locally, nothing you enter will be displayed. For
example, if you enter
history
at the system prompt, it will not be displayed on your terminal, as shown in the example
below.

Setting the Login Banner
The login banner feature allows you to change the banner that displays whenever someone
logs into the UI. This feature can be used to display messages about user authorization and
security. You can display the same message for all login sessions or you can display different
messages for login sessions initiated by the console, ftp or Telnet access. The default login
message looks like this:

Berkeley and its contributors.
