# Tips and Tricks

### Changing the welcome message



To change the welcome message you will have to edit the configuration file on your box. 



You can transfer it using FTP (make sure you enable hidden files) and edit it on your computer or edit it directly on the server using the nano or vim commands.



The file is located in your home folder in ~/.config/murmur/mumble-server.ini if you connect via FTP omit the ~.



The part you are looking for looks like:





welcometext=&ampquot&ampltbr /&ampgtWelcome to &ampltUSERNAMEHERE&ampgt&amp#39s Bytesized Powered &ampltb&ampgtMurmur&amplt/b&ampgt server.&ampltbr /&ampgtEnjoy your stay!&ampltbr /&ampgt&ampquot





You can change everything between the &ampquot &ampquot to say what you like. 



##### Adding a SuperUser account

For some features, permanent channels for instance, a SuperUser account is needed. You can easily add one by issuing the following command.



/usr/sbin/murmurd -ini ~/.config/murmur/mumble-server.ini -supw yourpasswordhere



After this change your login name on Mumble to SuperUser and use the password you picked earlier.
