That isnt such a bright idea (no offence). This information is updated regularly. Why would I want to append to /etc/motd on every login? Anyway... I have used /etc/profile to implement this. There was no need to edit /etc/motd. Now next up, I have to clean up the output from 'quota'. Something along the lines of: You have used 40.2Mb of your quota of 500Mb (hard limit: 510Mb) RAccess #geeks/irc.openprojects.net -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS GIT GP d- s+: a-- C+++ ULSB+++ P+ L+++ E+ W+++ N+ o K- w--- O- M-- V- PS+ PE Y+ PGP++ t++ 5-- X++ R* tv-- b+ DI+ D- G++ e h! r* !y+ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
