Hello

Every description I found on the internet says /etc/issue.net is used by
telnetd

However, I checked out some servers I administrate, and here's what I have
found.

Both Ubuntu 8.04.2 and Debian Etch machines have the option #Banner /etc/
issue.net in their /etc/ssh/sshd_config files. Yeah it is commented out but
it is there.
Suse Linux 9.2 and CentOS 5.2 machines got #Banner /some/path
Suse doesn't even have the issue.net file.

So I don't know what is the exact purpose of it nowadays

No man pages either.
