I'm running Unix 3.5 on a 3B1.

I created an /etc/issue file with world readable access but /etc/getty
never copies it to the screen. It doesn't work on the console and I don't
think it works on tty000.

A quick look at the /etc/getty binary shows that /etc/issue is "in there".

What's wrong? Why isn't /etc/issue being copied to the 3B1 console (or to
tty000)?

car.
