[gentoo-dev] /etc/issue*

[Andreas Kotowicz]

I just saw that gentoo has neither /etc/issue nor /etc/issue.net file.
Is this done on purpose? 
Would anything speak against having those files and telling the world
(and our local programs) that we are running gentoo?

- From the gentoo forums I found something like below, 
it uses linux_logo you may omit that.

yrjo_h@cartman yrjo_h $ cat /etc/init.d/issue
#!/bin/sh
# Local system initialization script
RELEASE="Release 1.2"

COLOR1="\033[1;6m\033[32;40m" # bright green on black
COLOR2="\033[1;6m\033[34;40m" # bright purple on black
COLOR3="\033[1;6m\033[31;40m" # bright red on black
COLOR4="\033[1;6m\033[33;40m" # bright yellow on black

rm -f /etc/issue
/usr/bin/linux_logo -L 3 -f >>/etc/issue
echo -e $COLOR1"Gentoo"$COLOR2 "Linux" $COLOR4"$RELEASE" 
$COLOR_RESET"(\l)">>/etc/issue
echo -e $COLOR3"Welcome to the Wired!">>/etc/issue
echo >>/etc/issue
cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
sleep 1
yrjo_h@cartman yrjo_h $

Hope this helps
