The actual file that contains this message should reside in /etc/issue.net

However, this file is normally re-written upon each reboot of the machine,
so you'll also have to edit your startup scripts to modify the login message
on a permanent basis.  This file should be /etc/rc.d/rc.local(*).

(*)I'm not familiar with the Qube line, so I only pointing out the RHL
defaults. YMMV.
