It does not usually come installed as standard.  You can install it in ubuntu (for example) by apt-get install figlet  The result is that you can generate text using different fonts. Once this has been generated, you can add it into the banner for the ssh/telnet/ftp server. -Cary If you do not want to have it generated everytime, you can use a program called figlet (http://www.figlet.org)  on the linux/unix system.
