Greetings,

In a vein similar to what has already been discussed today,
is there a way to remove the default banner that appears
when people establish telnet or ftp connections?

e.g.:

Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.0 (Rev. 910) (gimli) (pts/1)

login:

and:

Connected to gimli
220 gimli FTP server (Compaq Tru64 UNIX Version 5.60) ready.
Name (gimli:rauld):

Doesn't this type of OS announcement represent a security issue?

Thanks,

Russ
