changing the telnet banner

SecurID is our method
Okay okay... I know that SSH is a great way to secure passwords, but I wasn't around when they decided what to use. 
Although telnet is the standard for my company, we do have another way to protect passwords from being captured.
We use the SecurID technology that only allows for 1 time unique passwords for all users logging in to our systems. It is used with a PIN that the user has and a rotating 6 digit number that changes every 60 seconds.
I might be wrong on this, but SecurID is a very good security measure to protect passwords.
Don't get me wrong SSH is great, but my company has the SecurID technology as our enterprise solution.

lppasswd
lppasswd(1) Apple Inc. lppasswd(1) NAME
lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords. SYNOPSIS
lppasswd [ username ] lppasswd -a [ -g groupname ] username lppasswd -x username DESCRIPTION
lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (user- name), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames. OPTIONS
lppasswd supports the following options: -g groupname Specifies a group other than the default system group. SECURITY ISSUES
By default, the lppasswd program is not installed to allow ordinary users to change their passwords. To enable this, the lppasswd command must be made setuid to root with the command: chmod u+s lppasswd While every attempt has been made to make lppasswd secure against exploits that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to use Basic authentication with accounts managed by PAM instead.
