How to change the login message of telnetd? (Summary)

[Seng-Poh Lee, Speedy]

Thanks to all of those who responded suggesting the gettydefs or gettytabs
file, but that only does it for a serial login.  It doesn't work for a telnet
login.

The solution turns out to be replacing the telnetd entry in inetd.conf with
a script file which first puts out the message and then execs telnetd. This
works, I tried it.
