What's about a "private" issue file?  You should look at the man pages
for getty.

Example:

[some lines deleted]

     SYNOPSIS
	  /etc/getty [ -h ] [ -t timeout ] [ -l ] [ -i alt.issue ]
	  line [ speed [ type [ linedisc ] ] ]      ^^^^^^^^^^^^
	  /etc/getty -c	file

[some lines deleted]
							The -i flag is
	  used to sepcify another issue	file than /etc/issue. This may
	  be usefull in	combination with uucp lines or similar
	  connections.

Good luck ..
