You can do it via these steps (I know, the first stuff is
kiddie stuff, but a newer Linux person might want to try
it).
su
<enter root password>
/usr/games/fortune > /etc/motd
crontab -e
i
0 0 * * * /usr/games/fortune > /etc/motd
<esc>
:wq
exit
The first line after entering the root password simply
sets it up for this day.
HTH!

Subject: stupid linux tricks??
Okay it's a useless thing to know, but I have two linux machines (slack and
RH). The slackware machine displays a qotd upon login. I didn't install the
slackware machine and can't figure out how to get the qotd going on the RH
machine.
Any clues??
