Hi there,

Is there any sane/simple way (without having to hack source) to change the
greeting presented by 'telnet' from this:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

FreeBSD/i386 (xxxx.yyyy.zzzz) (ttyp9)

login: 

... to something a little less obvious like ...

xxxx.yyyy.zzzz (ttyp9)

that?

I know on Linux you could modify this output through /etc/issue and
/etc/issue.net. How does FreeBSD do it?

thanks,
Klaus
