The banner getty prints on `hard' ttys (as opposed to
pseudo ttys) is defined in /etc/gettytab.
Checkout the :im=..: capability for the ``default''

This particular header is probably not from getty,
but from telnetd. If you want to change it, get
the sources from telnetd, insert your favorite message,
and install.

Telnetd sources are available from e.g. uunet.
