- A group at the library would like to have a more extensive login banner
- displayed when patrons connect to their 690 via network (telnet,
- rlogin). [SunOS 4.1.2]
-
- Telnetd seems to have the message it displays at connection time hard
- coded in, versus how it can be done with a tty by manipulating
- gettytab.
-
- I'm wondering if anyone has done this bit of system customization, and
- how? The telnetd can probably be found is source form but I'm no C
- whiz.
-
- Any hints or tips would be appreciated. Many thanks.
