Hi,
This should be an easy one!.

Does anybody know how to stop the kernel writing a new version of the 'motd' file
in the /etc directory. It's nice to be able to have a 'permanent' message of the day!.

At the moment every time the computer is rebooted it re-writes this file. Other U*nx's
don't do this , why Linux??

Thanks
