rc.local appears to run before the contents of /etc/issue is
displayed... is that guaranteed (in squeeze), or just coincidental on
my system? Because that would be the simplest way to achieve this, I
think.
Incidentally, it contains escape sequences ( \n \l ) at the end. Are
they for use with "echo -e" or something else entirely?
