You can't do it that way...
/etc/motd is always displayed. I empty that file and do
cat /etc/motd.local
from /etc/profile (for ksh or bsh).
You may also choose to modify /etc/motd instead. Does not have to have a specific content.
You could also write code to display a motd file based on the primary group of the logged in user:
pgrp=$(id|tr '()' '//'|cut -d/ -f4)
cat /etc/motd.${pgrp}

If your asking about the info before you login then look at
/etc/security/login.cfg and look for the herald line.
