>Description:
Telnetd(8) said that we can use s5 style /etc/issue by using if capability, which would overide im. However, no matter how I set if=/etc/issue: in /etc/gettytab and create (with proper mode) /etc/issue, the content of /etc/issue will not be shown. However, getty does show content inside /etc/issue on console.
>How-To-Repeat:
in /etc/gettytab add if as shown below.
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:if=/etc/issu
e:

create /etc/issue with mode 644 root/wheel and contain any messages such as
Hello Issue<LF>

Reboot. After the system restart, the console will display:

Hello Issue

FreeBSD/i386 (checkserv.Thailand.ncr.com) (ttyv0)

login:

Login and telnet localhost, you will see that it shows:

FreeBSD/i386 (checkserv.Thailand.ncr.com) (ttyp2)

login:

instead of

Hello Issue
login:
>Fix:

Recompile telnetd from /usr/src/libexec/telnetd (4.2 Release) and update new telnetd back into distribution.
