>Release: beta-7
>Environment:
System: SunOS elvis 4.1.3_U1 13 sun4m
Architecture: sun4
>Description:
If you run the Kerberos telnet daemon under IRIX, the login banner identifies
the system as "BSD 4.4". This is because telnetd doesn't know about IRIX
and the default banner is BSD 4.4.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use telnetd under Irix.
>Fix:
The following patch seems to do the trick:
