from motd(5):
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/motd is normally displayed by login(1) after a
user has logged in but before the shell is run. It is generally
used for important system-wide announcements. During system
startup, a line containing the kernel version string is prepended
to this file.
so perhaps you need to look into how login(1) works.
