One more addition that is very useful in its detail to the summary I
posted:
Thanks Sheila Hollenbaugh!

another response:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry not to answer this before the summary appeared, but if the string
you refer to is the one that appears when you telnet to the system, it
is trivial to change, in /etc/gettydefs you can replace the string with
anything you like, it goes in the "default" entry. Here is what ours
loooks like, note that it is all one line:
default#B9600#B9600# \r\n Wright State University -- Unauthorized use
prohibited \r\n \
as opposed to the following which produces the O/S and version, %v(%h)
being the offending string in the entry:
default#B9600#B9600# %v(%h)\r\n\r\n Wright State University --
Unauthorized use prohibited \r\n \
cheers,
