I just installed 2.2.7-STABLE (i love how many more packages you have with it btw ;P) and my gettytab file is giving me migranes. I have a nice issue screen that covers a good 2/3 of the screen, and i was using if=/etc/issue in my gettytab file to point to it, however when it comes to remote connections they just see "login:" and no issue screen. I converted the issue file into an im= statement line-per-line and now telnetd refuses connections, however when i use a single line im= statement instead it works. This leads me to believe the issue screen is perhaps too large, and that there is a restriction on the size of remote issue screens. My local consoles have no problem with the im= statement though. What I need to know is, am I right in assuming there is a limit, is there any way around this or is there anyway to use an if= to use an issue file and have it go out remotely? Looked over the faq and handbook and got no luck. I read the man page and it's unbelievably cryptic and says nothing about remote issue screens.
