In Seawolf (7.1), /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net are written by
/etc/rc.d/rc.local. The file timestamps appear to be the same time as my
last boot. The change was made for Enigma (7.2) - I just verified this
here.
This is the 7.2 /etc/issue (supplied by rpm redhat-release-7.2-1)
[ewilts@bugzilla ewilts]$ cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)
Kernel \r on an \m
Note that /etc/issue.net is *not* issued for ssh connections at least for
openssh-3.1p1-2.
