[comp.unix.microport] /etc/issue

Does anyone know (or care) why /etc/login does not print /etc/issue
as it is supposed to?  It worked on SV/AT but fails on SV/386.  It
is "nice" to identify which machine this way.  Any pointers?

Put it in the /etc/gettydefs file, i.e.

19200# B19200 HUPCL PARENB CS7 #B19200 SANE HUPCL IXANY #micropen!login: #19200

Or, if you want it on 2 lines like /etc/issue does, I think this will work:

19200# B19200 HUPCL PARENB CS7 #B19200 SANE HUPCL IXANY #micropen\rlogin: #19200
