Package: base-files
Version: 10.1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Since we've started having dynamic generation of the system MOTD,
re-displaying it is hard. Especially if people are using SSH connection
sharing.
How about a /bin/motd (or /usr/bin) command which runs the following:
run-parts /etc/update-motd.d; cat /etc/motd
I've filed this bug report against base-files as this package delivers
/etc/update-motd.d/10-uname.
Incidentally, the description for base-files says that it delivers
/etc/motd, which it doesn't anymore.
Cheers,
Andrew
