pam_motd − Display the motd file
pam_motd.so [motd=/path/filename] |
pam_motd is a PAM module that can be used to display arbitrary motd (message of the day) files after a succesful login. By default the /etc/motd file is shown. The message size is limited to 64KB.
motd=/path/filename
The /path/filename file is displayed as message of the day.
Only the session service is supported.

The suggested usage for /etc/pam.d/login is:
session optoinal pam_motd.so motd=/etc/motd
motd(5), pam.conf(5), pam.d(8), pam(8)
