/etc/issue

[Chuck Dugan_2]

Can somebody tell me how /etc/issue works? I've tried to change it but it still
returns the same output when performing a telnet to that machine. For security
reasons, we're trying to minimize the amount of system info displayed during a
telnet session.

Thanks again,
Chuck Dugan.

Make these changes to the following lines in the /etc/inetd.conf file to
display a message prior to the telnet, rlogin, and ftp login prompts:

telnet-stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd -b /etc/seh_banner

ftp-stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -b /etc/issue

rlogin-stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind -B /etc/seh_banner

After you make these changes, execute the inetd -c command to re-initialize the
inetd.conf file.

Good Luck!
