I know, coming from a Sun background where the startup scripts where *heavily* customized (something like doing multiple chrooted environment without chroot but only pointing around environment variables)... but no MOTD :P For bonus points: jobs in cron sourced the profile (or cron itself used a login shell, I don't remember the details).
