Hello,

After reading the Config-HOWTO, I learned that I could change the 
login�s welcome message by editing /etc/issue and /etc/motd. In my 
box, /etc/motd is a zero-length file. /etc/issue contains the welcome 
message. I modified /etc/issue to include the changes I wanted. 
After the modification, I could see the new login message if I 
switched virtual consoles and tried to login. 

But when I rebooted the system, I got the old message. I checked 
again /etc/issue, and somehow the old version that I had edited 
was in its place. I think omething (or maybe someone?) is replacing 
the modified /etc/issue file with the original one when the system 
shuts down.

I tried grepping the entire filesystem for a string that only exists in 
the original (undesired) /etc/issue, but the system hung up. Any 
suggestions?
