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?
