NAME

        motd - message of the day

DESCRIPTION

        The  contents of /etc/motd are displayed by login(1) after a successful
        login but just before it executes the login shell.
 
        The abbreviation "motd" stands for "message of the day", and this  file
        has  been  traditionally  used  for exactly that (it requires much less
        disk space than mail to all users).

FILES

        /etc/motd
        login(1), motd.tail(5), issue(5)
