wu-ftp has a section in the ftpaccess file that looks like:
# Messages displayed to the user message /welcome.msg login message .message cwd=*
This should display the file 'welcome.msg' at login time. The file should be located relative to the ftp root.

In Solairs, check /etc/motd which is for logins and can be used to display a message of the day or banner or it can be specified in /etc/default/ftpd, as BANNER='your message'
Hope this helps.

Thanks but I have looked in the etc/motd and the banner is not displayed there. Also there is no /etc/default/ftpd file. Also there is no entry in the ftpaccess file like the one mentioned above.

Not sure where else to tell you to look, the /etc/default/ftpd or telnetd files are files you have to vi to specify the banner for those services. I'm not sure where your banner is getting its info from, if its not coming from the /etc/motd. These are only for Solaris 8, I have no idea about Linux. Sorry couldn't be of more help.
