Bug ID: 276763
Summary: motd: remove adding/executing "uname -v" output
dynamically
Product: Base System
Version: 13.2-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Prepending a processed version of "uname -v" creates several problems:
* The message isn't static, if you need dynamic you can go with
https://github.com/sstallion/dynamic_motd
* It does not add a huge value/benefit because the default motd says "Show the
version of FreeBSD installed: freebsd-version ; uname -a" and when done it can
lead to the next point
* The most important issue with it is that the output is not always correct and
can confuse users. See https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/issues/393. If
you run in a jail which is not the exactly the same version as the jailhost you
see incorrect information.
Ideally, instead of showing possibly incorrect information we should only show
correct static information.
