I am new to freebsd, but I a machine set up now.  I want to have people to be able to telnet into my machine.  This works fine.  I want to display a message before the login prompt, similiar to some ISPs.  Is there a file I need to edit?  If so which one.  I was told /etc/issue, but that does not exist on my system.

when I telnet into this machine I get the following:

FreeBSD/i386 (hostname) (ttyv0)

login:

I want to change this to say something else before the login prompt.  Please
let me know.

E-mail is better than posting if possible

noah@oopz.com

I also would like to remove the copyright info that is displayed after the usedr logs in.  I mean not have the copyright info displayed. 

How can I do this

Thanks 
Noah Davidson
