That isnt such a bright idea (no offence). This information is updated
regularly. Why would I want to append to /etc/motd on every login?
Anyway... I have used /etc/profile to implement this. There was no need to
edit /etc/motd. Now next up, I have to clean up the output from 'quota'.
Something along the lines of:
You have used 40.2Mb of your quota of 500Mb (hard limit: 510Mb)
