This was happening because both the /etc/profile and /etc/.login file were spitting out the MOTD. I commented out the one in /etc/profile. It is fine now. I don't see the MOTD when I su to root which is how it should behave. Thanks for all you helped. I was logging in via ssh and PrintMOTD parameter was already commented out. G Hi guys, this might be a simple issue but i can't figure it out. I recently created the /etc/motd file with a warning. However, whenever I log into the server, the warning appears twice. Why is the message of the day displayed twice during my initial login? Subsequently, when I su to root I the MOTD is just displayed once. I don't have a /etc/issue file. I am running solaris 8. Your insights would be helpful.
