Displays the default host name (telnet2.123.com) instead of the actual host
name in the greeting message.

This feature allows you to control the information specified in the greeting message
before a remote user logs in. For the greeting message, you can specify the host
name and daemon version, only the host name, or only the message FTP server
ready. The default greeting clause is greeting full.
The syntax for the greeting clause is as follows:

from the standard greeting message.
