just a doubt,

what if I have the same banner message in /etc/motd; /etc/issue and /etc/default/telnetd files

will the banner text of /etc/motd and /etc/issue files (displaying the banner for every failed and successful login ) do override that of /etc/default/telnetd
mhm.... just tried it. "/etc/default/telnetd" is displayed first, then /etc/issue.... /etc/motd is only displayed after a successful login, but it does not override it..
