The login text is the text that the login function looks for that means it 
stops looking for password prompts / ssh questions etc.

It should be set to be the last text before the bash prompt.

To achieve the effect you want, just pass a new 'prompt_callback' function to 
the command.  For starts, make a copy of the current _prompt function, and 
modify it so that it returns the text you want.

Is this enough help?  If not, let me know and I'll try and explain in more 
detail.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
