In that case you did not prepare the locate database. In Panther it's 
/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb (usually cron or anacron should run this 
command).

No. With mesg you can control whether other users can talk(1) or 
write(1) to you or your terminal device. There is man mesg, of course.

The motd contents is displayed when you do 'login' -- try 'man login' 
or simply do a login in Terminal!

It's better to live in Old Europe! It's hot outside too, but we have 
real cool cellars ...
