I have found a reverse logic that works great! It translates the regex text
back to actual text.
source ./templates/support.sh
populate login_banner_text
echo $login_banner_text | sed -e 's/\[\\s\\n\][+|*]/ /g' -e 's/\&/\&/g' -e
's/\\//g' -e 's/ - /\n- /g' >/etc/issue

Subject: SSG generate fix banner text
Hello,
I have what's hopefully a simple question. Why does the banner text from the
"oscap xccdf generate fix" output contain the string "[\s\n\]+" instead of
spaces? It's unreadable on a terminal session. It looks like someone is
trying to use regular expression text to match either spaces or newlines
between any words which is fine, but the same cannot be used as an input to
/etc/issue since terminal programs don't understand it.
