Often times administrators will create a "message of the
|
|
day" ("MOTD") to notify users of important events. The
|
|
gnome startup hints application can display these
|
|
instead of tips.

|
|
motd. If the file is different from
|
|
<filename>/etc/motd</filename>, you can edit that in the
|
|
<guilabel>Message of the day file to use</guilabel>
|
|
field.
