Remove default “Last login:” message in Mac OS X terminal

Question

Every time I open a Terminal window, I'm greeted with this message:

Last login: Mon Nov 14 21:00:58 on ttys000

It bothers me a bit. Is there any way to remove this message from when I open a shell?

	Kind of... I have a custom MOTD in `/etc/motd`, is there any way to preserve that while still silencing the `Last login:` banner? – esqew Nov 15 '11 at 3:13
	@esqew I don't know. I didn't find anything in `man motd` or `man login`. – Lri Nov 15 '11 at 3:48
