<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The contents of
|
|
<I>/etc/motd</I>
|
|
|
|
are displayed by
|
|
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+pam_motd">pam_motd</A></B>(8)
|
|
|
|
|

|
after a successful login but just before it executes the login shell.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The abbreviation "motd" stands for "message of the day", and this file
|
|
has been traditionally used for exactly that (it requires much less disk
|
|
space than mail to all users).
|
|
<P>
|
|
On Debian GNU/Linux, dynamic content configured at
|
|
<I>/etc/pam.d/login</I>
|
|
|
|
is also displayed by
|
|
<I>pam_exec</I>.
