Telnet message login...

[OLIVA_1]

Hello,

I would like change the mnessage I have when I do a telnet on a server.

--------------------------------------
HP-UX sade110 B.11.00 U 9000/800 (tc)

login:
--------------------------------------

I would like remove the sentence "HP-UX sade110 B.11.00 U 9000/800 (tc)" before login prompt, someone knows where is the file which manages this ?

Thanks,

Hi:

Edit your '/etc/inetd.conf' entry for 'telnet' and specify a "banner" file of your choice with the '-b' option and argument. It should look something like:

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

Regards!

Hi (agani):

Oh, and having editted 'inetd.conf' restart the daemon with:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -c

Hi Oliva,

Edit the /etc/issue file and check the /etc/initd.conf for this line

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

after editing the initd.conf restart inetd with the command "/etc/inetd -c"

Hi,

you need to create a new welcome text file, let's say /etc/mytelnet.txt
and change telnetd entry in /etc/inetd.conf to
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd -b /etc/mytelnet.txt

Thanks to all,

And if I use /usr/adm/inetd.sec file ?
What is the syntax ?


Thanks ?

Hi Oliva:

The manpages for 'inetd.sec(4)' will describe the syntax of the file. In fact, when looking for any configuration file layout, look in section-4 of the manpages. That's where file layouts are found:
