Re: Need to display a message after every reboot

[Jeff Largent <jlargent@imagelinks.com>]

motd is not displayed until after login, same with anything
you put in rc.local.  If you put it in /etc/issue it will be
displayed before the login prompt, but be careful Redhat like
to overwrite /etc/issue everytime the system boots.
