title: Adding Security Message to RHEL 5 Login Screen
body: <p>What are the steps to configure the login screen of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to display a large paragraph of text?</p>
  
  <p>Background Information: The text is a security warning required by the company I work for to be presented to all users prior to them logging in. They must be able to read the text prior to logging in.</p>
  
  <p>We are using GDM and it does not read /etc/issue by default. I have placed a copy of the text under the [greeter] section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf. The issue is that the text is displayed on one line and runs off the screen.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to present the whole paragraph in plain text without having to resort to using a rendered background image of the text such as how this DOE employee did?</p>
