Hi,

First, /etc/issue doesn't get executed - it gets cat(1)'ed. But I
understand what you mean. So, I tried the following script on my machine
and it worked:

cat /home/binand/bin/fingerd.sh

#! /bin/sh
echo "You have reached Binand's machine!"
exec /usr/sbin/in.fingerd

Of course I had to replace the fingerd line in /etc/inetd.conf with:

finger stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /home/binand/bin/fingerd.sh

The same should work with telnetd as well.
