Hi

I don't want the OS version to be displayed when user starts logging the system. Which file that hold the version message. I already check the "issue" and "motd" files, but there is not in any of these. Where is this message located in the banner? or where?

Thanks
 
From the telnetd man page:

[tt] 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

BANNER="..."

to /etc/default/telnetd. Nonempty banner strings are fed to
shells for evaluation. 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 con-
tains

BANNER=""[/tt] Annihilannic.
