NAME
motd - message of the day
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/motd file is normally displayed by login(1) after a user has
logged in but before the shell is run. It is generally used for
important system-wide announcements. During system startup, a line
containing the kernel version string replaces all lines up to (but not
including) the first blank line of this file. Customised messages can be
added to this file after that first blank line.
Individual users may suppress the display of this file by creating a file
named .hushlogin in their home directories.
