The telnet banner is set in /etc/gettytab by using the "im" (initial message) 
capability. All IPSO terminals use the default entry, which looks like this:
default:\
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n IPSO (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:

This produces the following initial banner.

---------------

IPSO (hostname) (ttyp0)

login:
---------------

You may change this by editing /etc/gettytab. To do so, first remount the hard 
disk read-write (# mount -uw /) and edit gettytab. If you wished for the 
initial banner to say something else, you could edit the im capability, such as 
in the following example:

default:\
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n Unauthorized access prohibited\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:
