Actually this is a port on /dev/pts/* .  I've changed issue.net but assume
telnetd calls /sbin/login.  Somewhere it must be determined that 'login'
should be used.

That prompt is actually not controlled by /bin/login.  It is controlled by
your getty service.  If you are not sure which one you use, look in
/etc/inittab for a reference.  Some getty programs will allow you to
change the login prompt, fbgetty for example.  For your getty, read the
man page.
