I added a /etc/motd and /etc/issue files with my personalised message but that message still shows up. How can I delete or modify it ?

I have HP-UX 11iv3.

Thanks for your help.

Inorder to remove all those welcome messages after login, you would need to edit the /etc/profile file. 

For Example: Inorder to remove the Copyright messages, you would need comment the below entry in /etc/profile file.

# Vi /etc/profile

.....

.....

# cat /etc/copyright --> Comment this line to disable the copyright messages during user login

....

Hope this helps..
