The code to display /etc/issue is part of the paragraph that displays the
system name as well.  That paragraph is #ifdef'ed out in the 3.0 source code
product.  If the paragraph gets #ifdef'ed back in, uugetty will display the 
system name and then display /etc/issue.

So I guess that I don't really know why uugetty doesn't display /etc/issue,
but it's not under your control.
