When a user Telnets into a box it usually provides a prompt
like
Cobalt Linux release 6.0 (Shinkansen-Decaf)
Kernel 2.2.16C32_III on an i586
Or
FreeBSD/i386 (adomain.com)
To quote just two examples
Is there any way to alter the prompt on login for telnet users so that it
says something different and doesn't give away the system being run?
BTW I am aware of the security issues around Telnet!
