Displaying message of the day (motd)

When you have logged to your machine through ssh, this is what you will always see after each successful access:

Last login: Tue Jun 3 13:17:35 2008 from 10.20.20.171
[user@server ~]$

You can have additional message displayed like this, by using message of teh day (motd):

Last login: Wed Jun 4 14:59:13 2008 from 10.20.20.241
This is a my server!!!!!!
[user@server ~]$

Here are the steps to do it:

1. Open /etc/motd using your favorite text editor. I will use vi
• vi /etc/motd
2. Append your message to the file and save
   
• This is a my server!!!!!!
3. Then, when this will be displayed when you access your machine again
• Last login: Wed Jun 4 14:59:13 2008 from 10.20.20.241
  This is a my server!!!!!!
  [user@server ~]$

Have fun....:)
