Which programm adjust the motd file when compiling?
As far as I remember, this update is not part of the compiling process, but will be performed later on as a startup procedure. I just checked; have a look at /etc/rc.d/motd and the corresponding update_motd= setting for /etc/rc.conf. The rc script basically is a search & replace mechanism that obtains the current version from a uname call. In your case, check if the one server in question does have update_motd="NO" set. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
