how to display particular message before login prompt.

[Md. Farhan A Azam]

Hi,

/etc/issue is the a textfile containing what ever message you like.

#vi /etc/issue
(add your banner)
#vi /etc/inetd.conf
(replace telnetd at the end with telnetd -b)
#inetd -c

Thnx...Farhan

Hi,

if you want any message display before the login prompt then edit this file "/etc/issue"
or
if you want any message should diplay after login then edit this file "/etc/motd"

Check for telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf there should be a file from which they are fetching your banner. telnet line in the inetd file will give your solution
