my original question:
---
for security reasons, i want to prevent 'SunOS 5.x' from outputting to the
screen when people telnet to my machines. there is no /etc/issue as in
linux, so how may this be done?
---
answer:
---
/etc/default/telnetd does not exist by default but when it contains
BANNER=""
then no output from telnetd occurs. if this line or the file is missing,
the equivalent of `uname -sr` is output.
thanks to jason grove for reminding me to do kill -HUP the inetd...
---
good point made by mark hargrave that the info may have been coming from the
/etc/motd, but i knew that was empty...
apparently, /etc/issue may exist on solaris machines, but that doesn't exist
on solaris by default either.
thanks
mark
