If you add -h to telnetd it will hide the OS specific > info before the login prompt. If you mean the message of the day > after you login, edit /etc/motd. This cruft is printed by login(1) unless the `quietlog' flag is set (see /usr/src/usr.bin/login/login.c, line 380 or so). This flag gets set for an individual luser if the file ~/.hushlogin exists, or it's set for an entire login class if you have `:hushlogin:' in /etc/login.conf.
