I finally broke down and did this the right way. Before, I was doing a trap /usr/bin/clear EXIT in my /etc/profile. Now I have the characters that are echoed by clear at the top of my /etc/issue and I unlinked my /etc/issue.net from my /etc/issue so that telnet's and other network connections don't have this clear effect, only the virtual terminals. clear >/tmp/clear-chars cat /tmp/clear-chars /etc/issue >/tmp/new-issue rm /etc/issue.net cp /etc/issue /etc/issue.net mv /tmp/new-issue /etc/issue Note, be sure that your boot scripts don't overwrite your /etc/issue.
