Looks like you'll have to change the input message:
im str NULL Initial (banner) message.
The "default" entry in /etc/gettytab already sets this (displaying the
system, hostname, and tty name), so modify it to say whatever you
want.
As you have already discovered, sshd_config has its own banner option
which is independent of getty.
