The banner printed by in.telnetd is configurable. The default is (more or less) equivalent to `uname -sr` and will be used if no banner is set in /etc/default/telnetd. To set the banner, add a line of the form to /etc/default/telnetd.
# cat /etc/default/telnetd BANNER="..."
• The default banner may be obtained by
BANNER="\\r\\n\\r\\n`uname -s` `uname -r`\\r\\n\\r\\n"
• and no banner will be printed if /etc/default/telnetd contains
BANNER=""
1. As an example, create a message banner when you are connecting to a Solaris system.
# vi /etc/default/telnetd BANNER="\\n\\nHello User, Welcome to the system\\n\\n"
2. Test the telnet, you will see the telnet banner messages like this..
# telnet 192.168.10.10 Trying 192.168.10.10... Connected to 192.168.10.10 Escape character is '^]'. Hello User, Welcome to the system login:
