    Hi everyone,

    I was wondering if there is a way to change or add text that appears
    before a login prompt on both the console and ssh. I am looking for
    something similar to the /etc/gettytab hack for BSD style systems. Any
    help would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to foo.bar
    login:
