Hello, I developed a small patch for displaying the network address (IPv4 or IPv6) of a selected network interface in the agetty issue file. The name of network interface (default eth0) can be configured through a command line option. I use this feature on my virtual machines, so I can know the addresses without login. I hope this can be useful for someone else.
