This link has a series on pre-login - seems to be a trick in the gettytab

Per Bulba007's suggestion:
Editing /etc/motd won't work as the banner is required *prior* to
logging in.

As for using "\r\n" several times to manually specify carriage
returns, that solves the problem. I just didn't get it. Thank you

I configured a obsd33 box yesterday, when I was done the boss asked to change the login banner, I edited the "/etc/motd" file, so it is the default.
