supressing kernel info in /bin/login or telnetd

I'm assuming that /bin/login is the culprit that keeps on displaying my kernel version when I telnet in, as I have already killed /etc/issue.net, and /etc/motd (although motd is displayed after login), but I now still get my kernel version. I want a "clean" login, *NO* versions of anything displayed. How do I accomplish this? As I said before, I already killed /etc/issue/net.
Thanks.

You have to set BANNER="" in /etc/default/telnetd. You can also put your warning message in there to allow getting it before login.

Check out the man page for telnetd (and ftpd which has it's own too).

yeah, I read that man pages first off, thats how i found out about /etc/issue.net, as for /etc/default/telnetd, it doesn't exist. But, I created it with BANNER="TEST", and gave xinetd a SIGHUP, and now I get the same as before:
Linux 2.4.18-5 (redhat) (14:10 on Monday, 26 August 2002)
right before login. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

After hours of playing around, if you create a null /etc/issue.net and /etc/issue, it replaces the kernel header at login. Thanks anyways.
