Thanks, in no particular order to
Bianca Passarelli
Gyula Szokoly
Don Newcomer
Donn Aiken

Graham Allan
George Guethlein
for their responses.
I described my problem rather poorly but Graham Allan still provided the
answer I was looking for (and am kicking myself for not having tried
myself): DU will print the contents of /etc/issue.net if it exists, which
is precisely what I wanted.
As others pointed out, /etc/gettydefs controls the line described in my
original post, but I'm content to leave that and just tack on my message.
And of course /etc/motd is printed out after the login.
Thanks again everybody,
Harry

I'm not sure what the technical term for it is but I want to change the
text that appears above the login prompt when someone logs into our host.
Currently, it looks like this:
Digital UNIX (host.name.blah.blah) (ttyp4)
login:
I'd like to put a message into that first line, a la /etc/issue under
Linux. I've searched all over /etc but couldn't find where this text was
being generated. Any clues for me?
