.SH NOMBRE
motd \- mensaje del día
.SH DESCRIPCIÓN
.BR login (1)
muestra el contenido del fichero \fB/etc/motd\fP después de un inicio de
sesión (login) con éxito pero justo antes de que ejecute el intérprete de
órdenes de entrada al sistema.

La abreviatura "motd" significa "message of the day" (mensaje del día) y, tradicionalmente,
este fichero se ha utizado para exactamente eso (necesita muchos menos
espacio de disco que un correo a todos los usuarios).
.SH FICHEROS
