To be correct: /etc/issue is used only by getty. This is taken
from issue(4):
-------------
issue is an ASCII file that is read by program getty and then written
to any terminal spwned or respawned from the lines file.
FILES
/etc/issue
-------------
That means you can't use /etc/issue for telnet sessions (since
getty (actually ttymon) is used only for hard-wired terminals).
Anyway, I'm also interested in equivalent of /etc/issue
for in.telnetd.
