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 "motd" stands for "message of the day",  and  this  file
     has  been  traditionally  been  used  for  exactly  that (it
     requires much less disk space than mail to all users).
