I've FTP'd a new version of MOTD to the 'submissions' directory of the
cs.orst.edu NeXT archive (should eventually show up on 'sources').

This version has a number of changes and/or additions, including:

  It now is a full 'LoginHook' and updates the 'wtmp' and 'lastlog' files
  that Workspace fails to (most significant if you have users that don't
  run Shell or Terminal).

  There is a compatible 'LogoutHook' with it to put the appropriate entry
  in wtmp when a user logs out of Workspace.

  Thanks to Izumi Ohzawa it now also checks for new mail on Workspace
  login and puts up an appropriate alert panel (and optional voice alert).

Bug reports and/or suggestions welcome,

- Christopher
