Oh man now I realized what I did, I had originally edited MOTD to only show what I wanted, but I logged back in once before I set update_motd to "NO" therefore it changed the motd to include the copyright info. Since I remembered editing it I never went back to check to see if it was modified after I edited. With Mathew's suggestion I checked the MOTD and low and behold the version info was there, I removed it and it is not coming back because this time i have the update_motd already set to "NO", funny how computers don't know what your thinking :) --Alex
