The list of motd files is specified on the MOTD_FILE line in
/etc/login.defs.
Using multiple files to generate the motd facilitates automated
messages.

I recall checking over someone else's translation of liquid paper into Polish,
and asking a more recently arrived native speaker if the word-for-word
translation was correct, and he had never heard of the stuff, but checked and
found that correction fluid was the correct term but liquid paper was the
commonly used one. I was going to look at mine but it must have dried up and
been thrown out a few years ago. I still have the sticky paper tape.

The continued presence of the ICNet stuff in the MOTD bothers me for
two reasons: (1) The message is false. (2) The will of the BoD is
not being carried out. OK, three reasons: (3) We suffer from chronic
MOTD bloat, and the IC message uses two lines; one for the message itself,
and one for the space that separates it from the next message.

Obviously "correction fluid" is correct, & I have lost my memory entirely.
<sigh>
Having said that: I agree entirely with #54. If the support of someone who's
lost his memory is worth anything.

If it makes you feel any better, it's gone, now. :)
