        We do not have banners, and our (post-login) motd doesn't have the
flavour name. However, if they telnet to the machine they get:
        Digital UNIX ({machine}.scs.unr.edu) (ttyvd)
without having to log in. Is this worth changing? How would one go about
doing it? (we have a source license, btw).

thanks and
cheers,
