Meaning that the line is compiled in. You can recompile telnetd with -DDEFAULT_IM='Your String', which will change the first line. You can also start telnetd with the '-h' option, which will avoid printing that line out altogether. There's also something in the sources about the "default" terminal type and the "im" setting, but I couldn't figure it out in the two minutes that I looked at the sources -- see telnet() in telnetd.c. The second line, I believe, comes from the login process, which is execve'd, so I'm not sure you can easily change that.
