Probably in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script. It runs commands like
fortune, and sends their output to /etc/issue.
Don't edit /etc/issue itself, as it is written at boot.
My rc.local contains lines like:
/usr/games/fortune > /etc/issue
echo "" >> /etc/issue
echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue
cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
echo >> /etc/issue
