It's updated during boot. If you don't reboot the machine, it doesn't get updated. There is also a line you can include in rc.conf to disable the update. Search for motd in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for motd. -- System Name: laptop2.StevenFriedrich.org Hardware: 2.80GHz Intel Pentium 4 (HTT) with 2 GB memory OS version: FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p2 i386 (5.1 MB kernel) Window Manager(s): kde4-4.5.4 X Window System: xorg-7.5 X.Org X Server 1.7.5 FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: <Intel ICH6 (82801FB)> (play/rec) default
