I'm afraid that doesn't run on my box
Authored by: porkchop_d_clown on Nov 18, '04 12:13:06PM

It generates an error about an unterminated expression in SED.

I think somewhere along the way you lost some back slashes? I used

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText \""$(/sw/bin/fortune | sed s/\"/\\\"/g)"\"
