Problem removing login banner

Hi All,
For security purposes, I am trying to prevent a Solaris 2.5.1 system from displaying any hardware or software information when a telnet session is initiated. To achieve this, I have removed the /etc/motd file, modified the /etc/default/telnetd file to include the line BANNER="", and created a /etc/issue file. When a user telnets to a Solaris 2.6 system configured this way, they see only the disclaimer contained in the /etc/issue file and then the login prompt. When I configure a Solaris 2.5.1 system in this manner, however, the following line is displayed before the /etc/issue:
UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0 (servername)
Anyone know what generates this line and how I can get rid of it?
Thanks,
John Frizzell

Hi John,<br><br>
Unfortunately in Solaris 2.5.1 and earlier, this banner message<br>
is hardcoded in the in.telnetd daemon. It's only with Solaris 2.6<br>
that the configuration variable BANNER has been introduced, <br>
precisely to allow system administrators to remove any mention<br>
of the type and version of the OS.<br>
<br>
<br>
So, there is no official solution to your problem on 2.5.1<br>
but there are ways around it:<br>
<br>
- Binary edit the file /usr/sbin/in.telnetd and put some \0<br>
characters instead of the beginning of the string<br>
- Or get a public domain in.telnetd daemon and compile it yourself<br>
<br>
Of course, none of these options would be supported :-).<br><br>

  • Remove network login banner

    At some point in the setup of my AEX, there was an option to enter a text string as a login banner -- a message that pops up on the wireless client when it first connects to the network (e.g. "welcome to the network", "authorized access only", etc.)
    Now, I'd like to remove the banner I entered but searching through all of the config pages, I don't see any place to change it or remove it.
    Am I missing the place to change it? Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks.

    That has never been an option before. I think that it must be coming from a different device on your network. What is the AirPort Express (AX) connected to?

    Since Wednesday if I watch freeview channels live I have a banner which states your viewing has been interrupted due to poor freeview signal, press help for more information. The bt vision box when it runs checks the signal says it is good.

  • Problem establishing login screen when ethernet plugged into NetComm NB5Plu

    Problem establishing login screen when ethernet plugged into NetComm NB5Plus4
    I get a flashing folder that does not allow the login page to appear.
    If I remove the ethernet connection then boot-up the system establishes the login page and I can plug the ethernet back in and the system logins in.
    Where should I look to identify the problem, I am thinking it is the OS X install.

  • Choosing between external and partner application and problem with login

    We have an application on Oracle App Server 10.1.3.3 and we have an OID server.
    I had taken this for granted that I should define the application as 'Partner Application' and not external application for single sign on.
    Now that we need the 'PASSWORD' retrieved by application, we are considering defining it as an external application.
    There are at least two problems I have encountered defining the application as external:
    1. 'pageConfig:serverDate' is among the login form's inputs in the login page, but I can't set it in orasso 'Edit External Applications' page
    2. After login using SSO as external application and when I click on the application's new link, the login page is shown with the username and password field filled, but I have to click on login button anyway (no automatic and invisible login).
    I will be very grateful if someone gives a general view on the differences between external and partner, whether in this case external has to be used or partner and finally give some comment on my specific problem with login button and manual login.
    Thank you

    Just some information :
    - The problem with LOGIN page exists. I don't have that problem with for example GMAIL when defined as external application, but with my applications in Oracle Application Server.
    - There is also another thing I don't understand. The link to external application is something like:
    javascript:open_jwindow('../ealogin?ID=76D4766','76');
    and couldn't be executed outside pls/orasso
    in other words we can't give that to our users, can we? They should login to orassso and see that?
    We don't want to involve them in Identity Management...
    Any help is appreciated....
    Regards

  • Problem in login with sys

    hi,
    i have a problem in login with sys, the situation as follows:
    1- when i try to connect using : sqlplus "/as sysdba" or "sys/password as sysdba" it connect me to the DB.
    2- when i try to connect : sqlplus "sys/password@MYDB as sysdba" it gives me "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied".
    3- when i try to connect with another user i.e : sqlplus "system/password@MYDB" it connect me to the DB.
    DB version : 9.2.0.8
    OS version : Solaris 10
    please advice...

    1- when i try to connect using : sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    or "sys/password as sysdba" it connect me to
    the DB.This works anyway, because you're authenticated by OS. Example :
    SQL> conn sys/aaaa as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> conn sys/bbbb as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL>
    2- when i try to connect : sqlplus "sys/password@MYDB
    as sysdba" it gives me "ORA-01017: invalid
    username/password; logon denied".Here you need the real password, so make sure you're using the correct one.

    There are few things you need to make sure before you remove the federation, like permissions, TXT records etc.

  • Problem removing Zombie GS

    Hey all. Having a problem removing Zombie Gunship from my Game Center. Basically, I want to delete my current progress and start over, thanks to my nephew messing up my config.
    So, I've deleted Zombie GS and it prompts me to remove the data and that my progess will be removed from the leader boards. So I do all that, restart it, blah blah blah. After I've reinstalled the app, my old config/progress/money is still there.
    I've emailed the game company and of course no response. So what am I missing or doing wrong? Or is this a situation where I can never start over?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I've got the same problem. I am revisiting the game and I want to start again from scratch but it seems Game Center has other plans for me. Dammit Apple gestapo!

    Hello,
    I've got a problem removing files from CVS :
    - I right-click on the file I want to remove -> Versioning -> Remove
    - The file is removed from local directory, and it appears in "Pending changes" view, on "Outgoing" tab. Its status is "scheduled for removal".
    - When I commit the file in the "Pending Changes" view, and click OK, then nothing happens. The file stay with "scheduled for removal" status, and it is not deleted on CVS server.
    I tried to commit the package or the project, but it's the same thing.
    Files additions and modifications work correctly.
    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3 Preview version.
    Is this a bug ? Or do I do something wrong ? Is there an other way to solve my problem ?
    Thanks.

  • Problem removing focused object from a table

    Hi.
    I have a problem removing a component that is focused from a table. The
    whole row is removed except a single component (JSpinner) in one row.
    My table has three columns, the first two are String fields
    (not editable) and the last is a JSpinner. Since there is no
    Default cell renderer or cell editor for JSpinner I had to
    create them.
    So, if no element of the row is focused then calling the function:
    public void clearTable() {
    setVisible(false);
    dataVector.removeAllElements(); // clear data vector
    setVisible(true);
    works just fine
    but if a spinner in a row is focused them that spinner is left alone "floating" on an otherwise empty table.
    Questions:
    1) Any one has an ideia of what might be the problem?
    2) Do I have to play with Focus to solve this? (hate the idea,
    since always been told to avoid messing with focus, because
    of the problems it normally brings)
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Rgds,
    Jorge

    The problem is that you need to properly stop the editing operation first.if( myTable.isEditing() ) {
        // If you want to throw away any edits use...
        myTable.getCellEditor().cancelCellEditing();
        // If you want to apply any edits, then end use...
        myTable.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();

  • Problem removing session attributes

    I have a problem removing session attributes
    I try w/ mysession.removeAttribute("key");
    but it still lives in memory. I've tried setAttribute("key", null) as the API states that will do the same thing, but it doesn't work.
    I can get mysession.invalidate() to work, but I want to keep some of the attributes there, while removing another.
    I get no exceptions and no errors.
    Help.

    Actually,
    response.addHeader("Expires", "-1");should be enough.
    The browser should then contact the Web server for updates to that page via a conditional If-Modified-Since request. You don't want a cache disabling 'overkill', since you'd still want the page to remain in the disk cache and used in appropriate situations without contacting the remote Web server, such as when the BACK and FORWARD buttons are pressed...
    Anyway, try this first, and if it doesn't solve your problem, add the other cache-disabling headers, as outlined in the previous post.
    If you're using JSP, verify also that your page has
    <%@ page session="true"%>
