Re: [LI] Login Prompt upon telnet

["Bilal Muddassir" <noorh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I wanted to remove this hostname part from my Slackware in.telnetd and
finally I was sitting inside the .c file of the in.telnetd source code
thinking what I should change to remove the string. Still I am not able to
do it. Anyone?

Because I don't use any static IP/hostname, I don't want it displayed on the
login prompt.
