It would be nice if the default terminal class entry in gettytab(5)
had the proper reference to /etc/issue, the file which is displayed
prior to the login prompt.  Many systems use "issue" and it would
save a little time every upgrade if the gettytab already had the
proper if= tag set (thus the system maintainer would just update
/etc/issue as necessary).

Note:  Adding this patch does not cause anything to break (tested on
both 4.1-RELEASE & 4.1.1-STABLE as of Oct 24 2000).  If /etc/issue
file does not exist, getty(8) just ignores the if= tag.

Fix: Apply the following patch:
