It is rather annoying, but you can use some cvars in your server.cfg to direct your motd and host files to something else:
hostfile "yourhostfile.txt" motdfile "yourmotdfile.txt" I use those so even though the originals get overwritten with each update, it doesnt matter. I've read that you can also set your host and motd files to be read-only, but I havent tried that.
