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.

FILES
     /etc/motd
