I installed redhat 2 days ago, so excuse me if the complete moron factor seems high.
 
The problem is this. The etc/issue file won't "stick". I log in as root, edit it slightly in vi to display my linux counter registration number and my linux box's "born on" date. (i just wanted a slightly more interesting prelogin screen that "redhat release... etc." I save it and get out of vi. I can then logout and the new file displays correctly. Then I shutdown, reboot, and then the old message is back. Any suggestions? (and dont say leave your comp on)
 
Thanks
