I log in using ssh on Reflection, which apparently is controlled by the sshd_config file. My BANNER parameter shows up there no problem, thanks to other guidance I received here. The place I'm trying to get the banner is on the console (which I rarely use), at the login page. I was pointed to the /etc/issue file. I put the banner verbiage in there, but it doesn't show up on the console. I'm almost wondering if there isn't a bitmap I can create then make that the background. I don't know...I'm starting to give up.

This may be a silly question but have you tried just hitting return to get a new login prompt message?
