How do I alter the text at the top of the CLI?

Hi,

As per title, how do I change the text you see when you log in to the command- line shell in Linux (Specifically redhat)?

Thanks

No- like the text at the top when you login like

Welcome to xxxxx system

$

or something

edit /etc/motd or /etc/issue, I can't remember which one, one modifies the text when it says

blah blah
login:

and the other changes the bit after

login:
password:
blah blah
