ftp banner

[G.Kumar]

Hi;

I want to remove the hostname info and version info from ftp .I tried with a null message file in /etc/ftp/ftpacces.Still it shows the hostname details when ftp starts.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi:
Try this:

Vi /etc/inetd.conf. Find the telnet entry and append "-b /dev/null" to force a null banner file. Save the file and issue an inetd -c. That should fix you.

Hi

from what i saw you need to install this patch and do this :

The 10.20 FTP patch, [PHNE_17963/PACHRDME/English] , adds a -S option to suppress
the hostname and version from the initial banner.

if you are using 11.00 install the last patch for ftp and define the new banner .

i m downloading the patch now and trying to do the same .

I am using hpux 11i.It looks like all latest patches are loaded.
