Here's a URL for some programs that allow you to edit the banner info for
web, ftp, and smtp in IIS and Apache. Maybe that's what you're looking for.

Hello

Does anyone know how to hide or mask the identity of a IIS 4.0 or 5.0 server 
such that if a "GET" command is issued following a telnet to the server on 
port 80, the server will display a different server type so as to hide it's 
true identity.

I searched the IIS installation drive using the following strings - 
Microsoft-IIS/4.0 and Microsoft-IIS/5.0
The result was a file called w3svc.dll which is aparently the IIS world wide 
web publishing service, I manually stopped this service, backed up the file 
and then ammended it to reflect my decoy server type, however, next time I 
attempt to start the service it failed.
I have heard of honey pot type program that can also achieve my desired 
result, but never actually played with one myself.

Has anyone come across this and does anyone know of any solution for what I 
am trying to achieve.

Thanks
