Sun How do I remove or hide SunOS version/release from remote login prompt?

For any SunOS 5.XX release, it appears prior to the "login:" prompt (as if a "uname" command is run).

Would anyone know where that initial display of SunOS release comes from upon a remote login and how I can stop if from displaying?

Thank you
