The problem under discussion is that the kernel version does not

Perhaps we could adopt the Linux practice of placing the release
information in /etc/issue

In /etc/issue, you write something like "%s/%m %r" to print
the information before the login prompt. Or you use something
like the traditional "im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)" in /etc/gettytab.
This is written as though it applies to FreeBSD, but I was
under the impression that FreeBSD didn't do anything with
/etc/issue. There isn't any man page for it, and when I
created a file /etc/issue it wasn't presented at login. Is
there something else I need to do? I am using 9.1
