Hi,

  I have a special situation where I want to have the 386/Sun Sparc-2 
running 386BSD/SunOS 4.1.1 to be a telnet server front end to a mainframe 
telnet server.But I only want to login once, so I have to find out how to 
disable loginbanner & all from the front end telnet server, so that the 
telnet connectiongoes all the way thru, then the mainframe generate a login 
banner instead.

  Is it possible in 386BSD? Without getting the telnetD code & hack it, 
by just  fixing the inetd.conf to run telnetD with -a none or ttytab or 
whatever?

  Thanks for any information.
