Banner Grabbing not right

["dharmendra rai" <dharmendra_rai () rediffmail com>]

hi all,
   changing banner of machine is trivial and if we rely on 
banner-grabing then we may end-up gtting wrong info . but of 
course most of people (more than 90% of computer-on-net owners) 
don't care of changing the banner.
   again hold on !! u can't grab the banner of mac OS older than 
OSx. if anybody has succeeded ,plz give me the info.
   bye
