Re: login banner

Hi Kenan:

Edit '/etc/inetd.conf' to lool like:

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd -b /etc/msgs/bann
er

Place your message in '/etc/msgs/banner'.

Now, recycle 'inetd' thusyly:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -c

Regards!

Re: login banner

Other Unix/Linux implementations use /etc/issue.net as the banner file, so, you could specify that name as the filename for your telnetd banner file as described above, just to follow some kind of standard.
