Actually, if you create an empty /etc/COPYRIGHT file, you'll get rid of the copyright notice that appears every time you log into your system. For more references: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/08/08/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=2 You'll find a few more tricks regarding MOTD and what your system says about itself every time a user logs in. Hope that helps. Regards -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi
