MOTD.NEWS(5)


NAME

  motd.news - Message of the day information for readers


DESCRIPTION

  This file, found in pathetc/motd.news, contains local information for news
  readers in a free-form format.  The entire file is returned verbatim to any
  client that issues the LIST MOTD command.  This might be used for new
  information, notification of upcoming downtime, or similar purposes.

  Be aware that use of the LIST MOTD command is not widespread and most news
  clients will never ask for this file.

  If this file is missing, it is not an error.	The server will just send the
  client an empty response.
