It will work with any case that dispatches through inetd(8), and should
get sent before encryption is negotiated, if I understand correctly.  It
also, of course can be used with any service:

$ more /etc/banners/in.ftpd
220-* Welcome, %c
220-*
220-* All access to this host is logged.  Unauthorized access will be prosecuted
220-* to the full extent of the law.  If you do not like this, log off now.

$ grep ftpd /etc/hosts.allow
[...]
in.ftpd:WWW.XXX.YYY.:banners /etc/banners:ALLOW
