>From O'Reilly textbook :

"The /etc/issue file is responsible for the text that appears after a
login at the system console. 
The text that appears when you log in remotely is controlled
by /etc/issue.net."

>From my course notes :

/etc/issue.net   -  Message issued for network login (rlogin or telnet).
Not shown for ssh.



Hope that helps :)
