The text is in the file /etc/motd (as in "message of the day").  You can
change it to whatever you want.  That's one of the first things I did
when I got the system running.

This file is printed from the /etc/profile or /etc/cshrc file when you
log in.  You could also remove the line from those files, although they
should probably be left alone.
