I wanted to be able to change the default login message on our workstations
from

         Connected to nzls05.
         Escape character is '^]'.

         SunOS UNIX (nzls05)

         login:
 
To a notice pointing out our network is for authorised use etc only. Most of the
responses were to change gettytab. Unfortunately, this does not affect
incoming telnet/rlogin connections, which are 99% of our logins.

The other response was to get ftp.uu.net:systems/bsd-sources/libexec/telnetd/*
or ftp.uu.net:usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume4/telnetd.Z which I am in the process
of doing. This will (hopefully) work under network and physical tty conditions.
