Yes, it's possible, but I wouldn't recommend trying it. I changed the host ID from MT to MA on my system and it was surprisingly difficult. I didn't try changing the banner from University of Michigan to anything else. That should be possible too, but I don't know what's involved. Back in 1988 new MTS sites were a rare event and changing the host ID and site name was far from the most difficult problem to be solved. Now it would make sense for it to be easier, but it's not high on the list.

I'm running MTS, and noticed that the default hostname for the system distribution? from MTS Archive is (MT)
Is there a way I can change the hostname? The login screen also shows "University of Michigan Computing Center", is it possible to change this?
I can't get at the source files very well, and I would prefer an easier solution to customize these things.
