Hi, Does anyone out there know how to change the default login message of telnetd? For example, on my machine, when you telnet to it, it gives HP-UX hostname 5.5 B 9000/330 login: I want to be able to add an additional message to this login message. Is there any way of doing this without having a customized version of /bin/login or /etc/telnetd? -- Seng-Poh Lee splee@gnu.ai.mit.edu

Thanks to all of those who responded suggesting the gettydefs or gettytabs file, but that only does it for a serial login. It doesn't work for a telnet login. The solution turns out to be replacing the telnetd entry in inetd.conf with a script file which first puts out the message and then execs telnetd. This works, I tried it. -- Seng-Poh Lee splee@gnu.ai.mit.edu

If you want to change your telnet banner, get the latest version of telnet from ucbvax.berkeley.edu (pub/telnet.91.03.25.tar.Z), modify the banner at the end of telnetd/ext.h, and install it. Even if you don't want to change your telnet banner, get the latest version of telnet from ucbvax.berkeley.edu (pub/telnet.91.03.25.tar.Z) and install it.
