Does you version of unix source /etc/.login when a person logs in?
If this file exists then this is probably true.  This is where I place
commands such as what you need.  If this file is not there then there
probably is an equivalent file  under a different name.  an example of
displaying the message of the day may be:

if (-f /etc/motd) then
  clear
  cat /etc/motd
endif
...etc...
