I'd like to set a custom motd ("message of the day") on my machine (currently Mac OS X 10.6.5 using Bash with Terminal.app).
In /etc/
there was no motd file so I created one with some sample text. But the message doesn't show up when I restart Terminal. I've tried to logout
and then login
but it still doesn't seem to kick in.
If I do ls -l /etc/motd
I get (if it's any clue):
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 30 7 Dec 11:58 /etc/motd
Am I missing something?
