Please disregard the above request. Further research showed the -S option 
was all that was needed. Would be nice if this was documented to show it 
is needed on all systems with banners as it is currently a little harder 
to find. If it were mentioned in the -h, the banner part, I would not have 
sent the request for help initially.  I now return you to your regularly 
scheduled madness...
