motd(5) File Formats Manual motd(5)
NAME
motd - message of the day
DESCRIPTION
The contents of /etc/motd are displayed by pam_motd(8) 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).
On Debian GNU/Linux, dynamic content configured at /etc/pam.d/login is
also displayed by pam_exec.
