motd(5) File Formats Manual motd(5)
motd - message of the day
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).
/etc/motd
login(1), issue(5)
