I'd go with the idea, Security through obscurity, Isn't such a bad idea, I mean drop down all around the corner what exactly security is, the on going effort to keep away the *HARMFULS*, If there were no harmful elements, there wouldnt be much of the security buzz. So if your telnet banner says OpenBSD and kills away chances for *many* skiddiez to try out their linux exploit attempts, or if your telnet banner says microsoft telnet server and keeps away the skiddiez trying their linux exploit and rather they try some other win* vulnerability. Then I dont mind keeping away less-skilled hax0rs plus worms. And letting only skilled ones to take a shot. I support the idea.
