Separation of static and dynamic motd components
================================================
Currently initscripts generates the motd, and stores it in
/var/run/motd. /etc/motd is a symlink to this file, and
/etc/motd.tail contains the static user-editable part. This is not
ideal for a number of reasons, including /etc/motd not being a file as
documented, and not behaving like a conffile, and being generally
complex and confusing. It also unnecessarily wastes space on /run.
In a future upload of initscripts, this will be simplified:
- /etc/motd will contain the user-editable part, and will be a regular
file; /etc/motd.tail will be migrated here.
- The dynamic part (uname -a) will be stored in /run/motd.dynamic;
this will be generated at boot like we do now. There is scope for
supporting other dynamically generated info in the future, should
there ever be any demand for that, but for now we are simply going
to retain the existing behaviour. Users can extend this should
they wish.
This does require two separate pam_motd lines in your pam service
file, one for the dynamic and one for the static parts (patch
attached). Enabling the use of /run/motd.dynamic before I create
it in initscripts is harmless, and it means we can seamlessly
switch over once you have made this change.
Thanks,
Roger

Changes:
shadow (1:4.1.5.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* The "Gruyère" release.
.
[ Nicolas FRANCOIS (Nekral) ]
* New upstream release:
- login: log into utmp(x) but not into wtmp (this is done by pam_lastlog).
Log to utmp(x) was broken by the fix for #605329. Closes: 659957
- userdel: Fix segfault when userdel removes the user's group.
Closes: #660406
- manpages: .so links point to paths relative to the top-level manual
hierarchy. Closes: #661025
- useradd(8): Return code 13 no more documented. Closes: #661802
* debian/patches/series, debian/patches/428_grpck_add_prune_option: Removed.
The -p option was not documented and was meant to fix consequences of a
bug now fixed more than 10 years ago.
* debian/shadowconfig.sh: Display issues, but dot not prompt interactively
to fix passwd/group/shadow/gshadow issues. Closes: #638263
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no changes needed).
* debian/rules: Simplify setting of hardening flags. cdbs 0.4.103 needed to
get hardened version of shadow-utils. Restore previous requirement on
dpkg-dev to 1.13.5.
.
