I believe there's a slight difference:

/etc/issue and /etc/issue.net are pre-login banner messages, /etc/motd
is post-login banner message, IIRC.

The favorite /etc/issue.net that I built was

'             lamers need not '

with *no* return, so the prompt came out


              lamers need not login:
