Hi,
So far I managed to locate 2 locations where MOTD is configured:
1) /etc/profile
2) SSH Server's configuration file.
Is there any other file which is configured with MOTD? There's still one more set of MOTD displaying. Initially it's displaying 3......
PS: We're not using openssh. We're using 3rd party tectia server. Thus not in sshd_config.
Thanks and Regards
Eugene

gesftpserver(8) System Manager's Manual gesftpserver(8)
NAME
gesftpserver - Green End SFTP Server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/gesftpserver [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
gesftpserver implements the SFTP protocol. It is normally run as an SSH subsystem but can be run in other contexts if necessary.
CONFIGURING OPENSSH
By default, OpenSSH will use its native SFTP server in response to requests for the SFTP subsystem. To use gesftpserver instead, add a
suitable Subsystem command to sshd_config (and remove the existing one if present). For example:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/gesftpserver
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
gesftpserver supports up to version 6 of the SFTP protocol and the following extensions:
newline
Reports the server's newline convention to the client.
space-available
Equivalent to df(1).
supported
v5 capability details
supported2
v6 capability details
text-seek
Used for resuming text file downloads.
vendor-id
Reports server name and version to client. gesftpserver reports a vendor of "Green End" and a server name of "Green End SFTP
Server".
versions
Lists available versions.
version-select
Select version.
posix-rename@openssh.org
Provides POSIX rename semantics even in pre-v5 SFTP.
