Login prompt change

Ok here is something I thought would be easy to change.
I want to add a message before the login prompt to something

Type "guest" to enter system
login:

I have found a file /etc/issue that allows me to do this
for direct connect serial lines.  But it doesn't work
for telnet sessions (which is really what I need).

I realize that I can change the prompt in /etc/gettydefs,
but this still won't change the login prompt for telnet
connections.

I am running SCO UNIX SYSV 3.2 (386).

Any help would be appreciated.
