Well, I failed to notice that this is necessary. But also now as I've done it I still get the default /etc/motd. Is there something more to consider? -Hanspeter To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Perhaps there is, I am guessing that you want a custom message for a specific user. I had to do this for a user named dustman on my machine. It was as simple as adding the name dustman (also in login.conf) to the password database file. I have pasted in two entries from vipw, notice the word dustman in both of them. One is for user test2, the other for user dustman. dustman:IJcNND58gQpL6:1011:1011:dustman:0:0:Dustin D Brand:/home/dustman:/usr/lo cal/bin/bash test2:$1$hcveRAF2$oIEp0sKgLzEB1WYsafGry.:1012:1012:dustman:0:0:Test Account for Login Class:/home/test2:/usr/local/bin/bash > > -Hanspeter > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message Aaron Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

I'm now using the login class in login.conf rather than the login name. And this works!
