Some FTP clients will just ignore your banner since it won't conform to the FTP protocol specification. If you want it to display when the user logs into your FTP server, put it in /etc/ftpmotd. If you want your telnet client to see it, put it in /etc/motd. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
