changing the telnet banner


I don't want SunOS 5.8 to appear when someone logs into my machine... how do I go about changing the banner?

I was thumbing through my unix books and I haven't found anything... I'm probably looking under the wrong topic...

anyways... any help would be greatly appreciated.

DXmHelpSystemDisplay(3X)												  DXmHelpSystemDisplay(3X)

NAME
DXmHelpSystemDisplay - Displays a topic or directory of the help file in Bookreader. SYNOPSIS
void DXmHelpSystemDisplay( Opaque help_context, char *help_file, char *keyword, char *name, void ((*routine )()), Opaque tag ); PARAMETERS
Used by the DECwindows Motif Help System to pass required LinkWorks and help information from one routine to another. Optional. The file name of the help file. If Null or is supplied, Bookreader will use the help file name passed in to the DXmHelpSystemOpen routine; otherwise a new file name can be passed. One of two values: "topic" or "dir". Pointers to these strings can be passed instead. The topic symbol from the help callback if "topic" is used for the keyword. If "dir" is used, then name refers to the name of the Bookreader directory that should be opened, such as "Contents" or "Index". Either specific strings or pointers to strings may be passed in. Used for error process- ing. If an error occurs within the DECwindows Motif Help System and it cannot be processed by either LinkWorks or Bookreader, the DECwin- dows Motif Help System calls the error processing routine you have included in your application and passes in an integer, or status, to indicate the status of the error processing operation, as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Value Description -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 The DECwindows Motif Help System could not find the LinkWorks shareable image. 2 The DECwindows Motif Help System could not translate a specified value into a valid file specification. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Note the following: The status parameter is a system-supplied parameter that supplements the routine and tag parameters you have already specified in the application. If an error cannot be processed by either LinkWorks or Bookreader and you have not specified a supplementary error handling routine, your system will generate an access violation error message. The parameter you supply to the previously described routine parameter. Associating a tag with the routine enables you to more easily determine where errors occur. DESCRIPTION
Note This routine is not supported on all operating systems. The DXmHelpSystemDisplay routine (which you use instead of a call to the help widget) displays a topic or directory of the help file in Bookreader, using the DECwindows Motif Help System. This routine can also be used to display topics or directories of books other than the ones passed in to DXmHelpSystemOpen. SEE ALSO
