do the following as root touch  /etc/COPYRIGHT or remove the :copyright
line from your login.conf file.(not tested). This takes effect
immediately

from what i can tell when a user logs in the contents of the file
pointed to by ":copyright" is displayed. If the file is not there then
the regular copyright info along with kernel name is displayed.

the COPYRIGHT file seems like the perfect place to put the secured
server message you would like to display and leave motd for more
dynamic information
