Hi,

I recently installed Openbsd and after creating and logging in to a new user , I noticied a different sentence(like quotes) appears.

What are they?What's their purpose? And how do enable/disable it?

Sounds like the motd.

NAME
motd -- file containing message(s) of the day

DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/motd is normally displayed by login(1) after a user has
logged in but before the shell is run. It is generally used for impor-
tant system-wide announcements. During system startup, a line containing
the kernel version string is prepended to this file.

Individual users may suppress the display of this file by creating a file
named ``.hushlogin'' in their home directories or through login.conf(5).

FILES
/etc/motd The message of the day.
$HOME/.hushlogin Suppresses output of /etc/motd.

EXAMPLES
FreeBSD 2.1.6.1-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Sun Dec 29 03:08:31 PST 1996

/home is full. Please cleanup your directories.

No, that's not it. It's quotes like "Hollywood is the place where if you don't have [something i don't remeber], you can order it out".

It appeared only in a new user i created.

Any ideas?

Ps:created the user through this command:
useradd -m -b /home/[user] -g 0 [user]
then changed the password and logon with that account.

Here goes the quote "An effectice way to deal with predators is to taste terrible"

After another login:
"Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch next"

Found it.
It's a program called fortune.
Now, where do i turn it off and why is it included inthe default set for new users?

Edit ~/.profile and ~/.cshrc (depends really on which shell your new user has).

The fortune program is pretty popular and a lot of users like to have it print out a random message at boot. Just a little thing to pick up their mood or whatever. I'm not suprised it is part of the default setup... it's part of the new user files for freebsd, netbsd, and most of the linux versions I have tried as well.
