I do like that idea, however...

I know some versions of Unix rcp client used to get confused if
the shell startup scripts (like ~/.profile or /etc/profile)
on the target machine emit any output to stdout.

Don't know if scp suffers from the same malady, but making the
/etc/profile spit out information to stdout might obviate the
need for users of scp, rcp, rsh to go remove the fortune invocation
from /etc/profile.

introducing yet another FAQ ;->

Just my $0.02, a throwback from my former Unix admin days.
