Sorry, that won't work.  Unless S&P's changed something (unlikely from your
description of what's been left enabled) Red Hat systems regenerate
/etc/issue from scratch on boot.  You need to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.local
instead, which contains the code that generates /etc/issue.

As another poster mentioned, this is a 2.0.x kernel, so you need to use
ipfwadm, not ipchains.
