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.
