You can customise the login message by editting the file
/etc/gettytab

-- Look for the "default" entry..

Alternatively, if you just want to remove the message altogether for
telnet access, add the "-h" option to the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf
and HUP the inetd process:

telnet	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/libexec/telnetd -h	telnetd

cheers, jamie
