The /etc/motd file contains the message of the day that's displayed for
users when they login.  You can modify that to display what you want.

Alternatively you could add items on a per-user basis in their ~/.login
file or globally in one of the login startup rc files (.profile, .cshrc,
.shrc, etc) - see the manpage for 'login' for more info on the files that
are best to use.
