It wasn't me asking in the first place, but thanks for the info.
But - in these times of networking a lot of people login using telnet and/or
rlogin. I don't know about rlogin, but appearently it won't work with telnetd.
Could one just create a small program that printed the message and exec'ed
to in.telnetd??
