It's an very easy , we can edit their respective user .bashrc file by using echo command

#vi ~/.bashrc

echo "this is your welcome message"

or

echo "Hi welcome Mr. $USER "

save the file and login that particular user

output like

[root@boobalan-aadhardigital ~]# ssh boobalan@localhost
boobalan@localhost's password:
Last login: Sun Jul 29 17:01:09 2018 from localhost

Hi welcome Mr. boobalan
