The /etc/motd file contains the message of the day that's displayed for users when they login. You can modify that to display what you want. Alternatively you could add items on a per-user basis in their ~/.login file or globally in one of the login startup rc files (.profile, .cshrc, .shrc, etc) - see the manpage for 'login' for more info on the files that are best to use. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/
