Gee, we force this one on everyone here!  We have in /usr/lib/crontab
the line

	2 0,6,12,18 * * * /usr/local/etc/motd_ed

with the motd_ed script reading:

	#! /bin/csh -f
	set file=/tmp/med_$$
	cat <<'fin' >$file
	g/Good morning!/d
	g/Good afternoon!/d
	g/Good evening!/d
	g/What are you doing on at this time of night?/d
	$-1a
	'fin'
	set time=`date | awk '{printf $4}' | awk -F: '{print $1}'`
	if ($time < 6) then
		echo 'What are you doing on at this time of night?' >>$file
	else if ($time < 12) then
		echo 'Good morning\!' >>$file
	else if ($time < 18) then
		echo 'Good afternoon\!' >>$file
	else
		echo 'Good evening\!' >>$file
	endif
	cat <<'fin' >>$file
	.
	w
	q
	'fin'
	ex - /etc/motd <$file
	rm $file

(We also have /etc/rc.local invoke this to fix the motd when rebooting.)
