Some fortunes are long, some are offensive
Authored by: porkchop_d_clown on Nov 18, '04 12:18:28PM

If you're worried about either you might want to do this:

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText \""$(/sw/bin/fortune -n 80 -s /sw/share/fortunes | sed s/\"/\\\"/g)"\"

This will restrict fortunes to the inoffensive ones that are less than 80 characters long.
