I may be wrong because it been a while for me to make changes, but you 
need to edit your  .profile  for the system . Here you can set it up. 
You can even set it up where fortune, mot, or any other programs you 
want to start when a user log in. .profile more or less control shell, 
you can also set path up her at well.

You will need to set an ansi color.

Do a search on google for .profile you might find examples.
