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.
