I'd definitely move the motd junk to The problem with moving the "motd junk" to /etc/rc is that the motd should be a local entity. Otherwise it defeats the entire purpose of the Message Of The Day, turning what was intended to be a default into a standard. This change will force anyone who actually DOES change their motd from the default into putting local changes in /etc/rc. Leave it alone... the current setup isn't just historical, it's correct. -Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
