Different Welcome Message for different IP

[MARCONI SPA]

In the system they have been shapes two IP for the same interface. I would to visualize a welcome message various to second of the entrance IP. Modifying inetd.conf of the telnet ** the ALL ** sessions telnet would have the same message. Example:
c:\telnet 172.16.123.2

HP-UX AAA B.11.00 A 9000/800 (tb)
login:
c:\telnet 172.16.123.1
Welcome User !! Are you ready ?? !!
Login:

thank's in advanced and sory for my English.

Hi,
I don't think you can do that. Since it's the same system, it would be the same telnet-daemon and thus the same bannerfile. A solution (but too farfetched) would be to start another telnet-daemon on another port and have the users for the second IP telnet to a different port.

Sorry (I hope there's a solution from someone else),

Hi,

It is not possible since telnet is invoked by inetd daemon which is running on the server with a particulr IP address ( IP of the system-hostname).

After the telnet port is opened on the alias IP adress, the /etc/issue file comes into the picture which can be only one for one system.

Hi,

well, you could get the source of "inetd" from BSD, Linux, or somewhere the like, and change its "bind"ing to all ip-addresses to only a selected (local) one and use a matching "/etc/inetd.conf.IP-ADRESS" (or so). Then in those "inetd.conf.*" you would list different files for the "telnetd" option "-b" (banner file).

This is not supported by anyone, of course - but if you like, that's one way to get it...

HTH,
Wodisch
PS: we are running many "samba" instances that way on the same system, same port, but different local ip-addreses and different local config-files!
