Well, the reponse is `NO', it doesn't exist in the vanilla systemIII. However, by removing /etc/motd and adding a few lines to /etc/cshrc and /etc/profile you may check for a file $HOME/.hushlogin, and if it is absent CAT /etc/my_motd. Thanks to all who responded.

Actually, there may not be any need to remove "/etc/motd". Vanilla System III's "login" doesn't print "/etc/motd" nor check for mail; it leaves that up to "/etc/profile", so you could have it check for the file and only "cat" "/etc/motd" if it's absent. Vanilla C shells don't source "/etc/cshrc"; you'd have to modify it if it hasn't been modified already - you should modify it anyway, because if you don't, C shell users would have to hack their own ".login" files to get the message of the day.
