/etc/issue

Is there a way to have changes made to the /etc/issue file
active
without rebooting the server?  I've added a smattering of
text per ISO
request that I need to prove works, but can't reboot the
system for
several days.  It doesn't seem to just show up, so I figure
a restart of
some service might make it happen.  Any thoughts?

Updating /etc/issue should not require a reboot (I've tested
this on my
RHEL4 and it still works).
This may be a silly question but have you tried just hitting
return to get a
new login prompt message?
