Thanks, but it still halps to know these things. Not a "security through obscurity" issue. Just want to know how to do it. BTW, I AM running ssh, but that doesn't mean I don't want to know how to turn off the annoying banners. Also, just so you can feel better an night, I am kicking people off the system with tcp wrappers when they try to telnet. Easier to know who is doing what, ya' see.... -James -----Original Message----- From: Giorgos Keramidas [mailto:keramida@ceid.upatras.gr] Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 6:10 PM To: James Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: How to change the telnet and uname output On Thu, Apr 06, 2000 at 05:29:21PM -0700, James wrote: > How do I change the STDOUT uname and initial telnet output? i.e., just > by telneting to my machine, people can tell what it is.

Oh, and disabling telnet altogether is usually a good idea, if you hate it that others might know what you're running by using it. Use ssh instead :) Ciao, - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
