OK, this is basically the same bug again: Irix's /etc/cshrc and
/etc/profile print /etc/motd.

We can live without both of them (and do for X logins), although
interestingly, they set the environment variables NOMSGLABEL and
NOMSGSEVERITY, which turn the silly Irix "UX:foo: ERROR: message"
error messages into just "foo: message" like everyone else does... Do
we want to incorporate that into our Irix dotfiles?

I don't know how to make /etc/cshrc and /etc/profile not exist under
Irix so someone else can do that.
