Maybe you can edit your /etc/gettytab
default:\
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n\Some Text Here
\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:\
:if=/etc/issue:
then you can maybe also use figlet to generate some fancy
text to your /etc/issue.
You can also disallow users from accessing uname.
hope this helps.

Yes, uname -a will do the trick. Here is what I wanted.
I did not want the version to pop up on the console after
boot.
So I added the clear command to the /etc/issue. So, I
want the console to look like this after the system is up
and booted:
