BANNERS ON TELNET

For showing the banner 
on a telnet session.

Add the following in 
/etc/inetd.conf

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

The -b option then the 
banner file after this allow 
inetd to reread the conf 
file by ,  inetd -c.

After this you will be 
getting your banner on telnet session.
