I find this quite odd Smilie

On my Solaris 9 box, when I telnet (or SSH) into the server, /etc/motd just contains the single line
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.9 Generic January 2003

Now, if your /etc/motd contains a similar single line pertinent to your version of Solaris, then one of the startup scripts must be in some way, shape, or form, executing either directly or by way of another script, something along the lines of
Code:
echo "YO!"
date

You could grep within your home directory for "YO!".

Is your home directory mounted over NFS?

Cheers
