RedHat overwrites /etc/issue at every boot. You need to find the lines in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local that say this:
# This will overwrite /etc/issue at every boot. So, make any changes
you
# want to make to /etc/issue here or you will lose them when you
reboot.
echo "" > /etc/issue
echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue
Add a "#" mark to the beginning of the three lines that say "echo" with
something after them.
Then you can change /etc/issue with your favorite editor and make it say
whatever you want.
