[LON-CAPA-admin] Tailoring the "New User?" page

[Stefan Bisitz]

Hi,

To add customized text to the login related screens is no new idea but 
not supported yet. You could use the general announcement box which 
appears on the login screen: As Domain Coordinator go to Main Menu >> 
Announcements and my calendar

If you like you might think of directly adding the desired text to the file:
/home/httpd/lib/perl/Apache/createaccount.pm

Don't forget to reload the web server to apply the changes:
/etc/init.d/httpd reload
(httpd, apache or apache2, depending on your distro)
