Which appears where, exactly? Do you mean the version number *within* /etc/motd? (i.e. you also see it if you type "cat /etc/motd"? ) Have a look in /etc/rc.d/motd I don't see why setting update_motd="NO" in rc.conf didn't fix this for you. But maybe setting it to mode 444 would help, or you can just modify or remove /etc/rc.d/motd entirely. If you want to hide motd completely, you might be able to do this by modifying or removing :welcome=/etc/motd: in /etc/login.conf If you mean something which is printed *before* /etc/motd is displayed, then you'll need to be more specific about where exactly it is.
