Subject: [kbd] [Enhancement] Add hostname to message on locked screen
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 22:54:47 +0800
Message-ID: <20170601145447.GA703@smoon.vl-lomov.ru> (raw)

Hello,

I'd like to propose small enhancement: to add to the message on locked
screen information about current host. May be it is worth to store the
same information in syslog, I don't have any opinion.

I attached small patch that works (basically) on my system (Archlinux
x86_64).
