MOTD(5) Linux Programmer's Manual MOTD(5) NAME motd - message of the day DESCRIPTION The contents of /etc/motd are displayed by pam_motd(8) 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 tradition- ally used for exactly that (it requires much less disk space than mail to all users). On Debian GNU/Linux, dynamic content configured at /etc/pam.d/login is also displayed by pam_exec.
