DESCRIPTION

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.
