NAME
       issue - Issue identification file

DESCRIPTION
       The  /etc/issue file is a freely formatted ASCII file.  If present, the
       getty program reads this file and writes its contents to	 any  terminal
       spawned	or  respawned  from the /etc/inittab file prior to writing the
       login prompt string specified in the /etc/gettydefs file.

       If the /etc/issue file is present and the /etc/issue.net file  is  not,
       the  telnetd  daemon reads this file and writes its contents over a new
       telnet connection prior to starting the login dialog.

       Use this file to store messages that are longer than the message	 field
       for entries in the /etc/gettydefs file.

					Note
       You must be aware of the size limits of all potential output devices as
       you create /etc/issue  messages.	  Some	devices	 (for  example,	 small
       screens)	 might	not hold the messages you enter into the file and will
       truncate the messages.

FILES
       Specifies the path name for the file.
