The problem with this is, boot.local is boot time only initializations. I
want the login messgae to contain some color text. (ie, the message you see
on the console or when you telnet to the box) Something displays the
issue.net file, I do not know if it is getty or login or something else. Red
Hat does this know, I have not looked deeply at the Red Hat platform to see
how they do it however.
