motd == Message of the Day
Here's an excerpt from the login(1) manpage:
After a successful login, you will be informed of any sys-
tem messages and the presence of mail. You may turn off
the printing of the system message file, /etc/motd, by
creating a zero-length file .hushlogin in your login
directory. The mail message will be one of "You have new
mail.", "You have mail.", or "No Mail." according to the
condition of your mailbox.
So, to "shut off" motd display:
shell$ touch ~/.hushlogin
