there is nothing about the /etc/issue* files that guarantee that they say *anything* about the red hat version of the host. those files contain whatever you want to be printed out before the login prompt /etc/issue: on a local port /etc/issue.net: for a network login so while they *start* with version info, there's nothing that says they must remain that way. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
