pam_issue is a PAM module to prepend an issue file to the username prompt. It also by default parses escape codes in the issue file similar to some common getty's (using x format).
Recognized escapes:
current day
name of this tty
machine architecture (uname -m)
machine's network node hostname (uname -n)
domain name of this system
release number of operating system (uname -r)
current time
operating system name (uname -s)
number of users currently logged in
same as u except it is suffixed with "user" or "users" (eg. "1 user" or "10 users")
operating system version and build date (uname -v)
noesc
Turns off escape code parsing.
