Sorry, I can't reproduce.  The current upstream manual page has the following 
text (ignoring formatting):


DESCRIPTION
        The  contents of /etc/motd are displayed by login(1) after a successful
        login but just before it executes the login shell.

        The abbreviation "motd" stands for "message of the day", and this  file
        has  been  traditionally  used  for exactly that (it requires much less
        disk space than mail to all users).
