issue.net(4)
NAME
  issue.net - Network issue identification file

DESCRIPTION
  The /etc/issue.net file is a freely formatted ASCII file.  If present, 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.net messages.  Some devices (for example,
       small screens) might not hold the messages you enter into the file and
       will truncate the messages.

FILES
  /etc/issue.net
