Bash Shell Greeting

When a terminal session begins and before the prompt appears, several lines of text appear. The first is "Last login: ...." and the second and following lines are a greeting.

Where is that greeting? I'd like to change it.

The greeting is stored in '/etc/motd'.

Thanks. I had changed it once long ago and wanted to change it back to the saved (.bak) version (Welcome to Darwin!) but couldn't remember where it was.
