Login Configurations

Using /etc/motd and /etc/issue

To display messages during the login process, Bash uses the /etc/motd and the /etc/issue files. Messages in /etc/motd display after a user has successfully logged in to a shell. (Note that users in a graphical environment do not see its contents after a graphical login.) Using /etc/motd can be a convenient way for system administrators to inform users about an issue or a security policy, for example.

Example
Edit /etc/motd with "WELCOME ON RED HAT SERVER"
Login with a standard account and Observe
