Tip Of The Day (TOTD) Guidelines

You'll need to cat the /etc/totd file in your standard login script. At
WiredSoc, we use:

        if ( -f /etc/totd ) then  
                echo "Tip of the day:"
                cat /etc/totd
        endif

and put this inside an if that checks whether the user has a file called 
.hushlogin (so people can suppress the totd and motd if they want).

you'll also need to change some of the variables at the top of the settip
script to point to the correct locations on your system.

Finally, you should probably put settip on a cron job to go off every night.
