I've been away for a while and missed the change and complexity added to
/etc/motd. I figured it out but I was led astray by not knowing that it
was converted into a service that only runs at boot time. If you just
follow the instructions in the template file, you will nothing changes.
As a suggestion, maybe change this line in the /etc/motd.template file:
Edit /etc/motd.template to change this login announcement.
to:
Edit /etc/motd.template to change this login announcement and
reboot or manually restart the motd service in /etc/rc.d/motd as in:
/etc/rc.d/motd restart
and also add an entry to the man page for motd.
