see /etc/rc.d/rc.local you'll get it.

Changing 'issue' & 'issue.net' with Mandrake?

I just installed the new Mandrake 6.0 distribution (which, by the way,
is very complete, and Is my new favorite over RedHat 6.0, Slackware 4.0,
SuSE 6.1, and OpenLinux 2.2).

I have basically been able to find my way configuring Mandrake, since it
is based on the familiar RedHat dist.  However, I cannot seem to make
the login screens change for good.  I have edited the files 'issue' and
'issue.net', and if I logout and back in (either with getty or telnet,
rlogin, etc) I can see the successful change.  However, as soon as I
reboot, the edited files get wiped out completely and replaced with the
originals.

I have dug through '/etc' with no luck finding any hidden '.issue' (like
in OpenLinux).  There must be a script somewhere though - and where are
the original files being stored?

Anyone who has delt with this and can help please e-mail

Thanks in advance,
Ryan T. Rhea

Try /etc/rc.d/rc.local.Look at the end of the
file and you'll see where it is overwritten.

I believe i saw something that did this when i was messing about in
/etc/rc.d it may have been in rc.local although i'm not 100% sure
