Bug description:
  Add a new update-motd script for printing news and/or important
  notices.

  == SRU ==

  [IMPACT]
  We should add important security messages or other news to the MOTD.

  [TEST CASE]
  Login to the system and ensure that the "news" section of the motd is 
displayed.  Note that you might need to force trigger an update by running 
'sudo update-motd'.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  No reasonable regression potential.  The script simply prints 2 lines of text 
to the MOTD.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1637800] Re: add a motd script for news

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package base-files - 9.4ubuntu4.11

---
base-files (9.4ubuntu4.11) xenial; urgency=medium

  * update-motd.d/50-motd-news: add cloud_id to user-agent string
(LP: #1840946)
  * d/postinst.in, d/postrm: add missing dh_systemd_enable pieces. This
completes the fix for LP #1637800
  * d/postinst.in: do not start the motd-news.service, as it won't be
in an enabled state anyway, and the timer will run it when needed. This
addresses the motd-news.service bit in comment #19 of #1637800.

base-files (9.4ubuntu4.10) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Fix syntax error in new base-files postinst code.  LP: #1836236.

base-files (9.4ubuntu4.9) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Backport /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news, along with the systemd units
that are used to keep the local cache file up-to-date.  LP: #1637800

[Andreas Hasenack]

+ [ -d /run/systemd/system ]
+ systemctl --system daemon-reload
+ deb-systemd-invoke start motd-news.service
motd-news.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.
+ [ -d /run/systemd/system ]
+ systemctl --system daemon-reload
+ deb-systemd-invoke start motd-news.timer
motd-news.timer is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.

The xenial package is not using debhelper, and the manual entries in
postinst do not enable it, just try to start it.

This is the bit that dh_systemd_enable adds to postinst in bionic, for example:
# Automatically added by dh_systemd_enable/11.1.6ubuntu2
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ] || [ "$1" = 
"abort-deconfigure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-remove" ] ; then
# This will only remove masks created by d-s-h on package removal.
deb-systemd-helper unmask 'motd-news.timer' >/dev/null || true

# was-enabled defaults to true, so new installations run enable.
if deb-systemd-helper --quiet was-enabled 'motd-news.timer'; then
# Enables the unit on first installation, creates new
# symlinks on upgrades if the unit file has changed.
deb-systemd-helper enable 'motd-news.timer' >/dev/null || true
else
# Update the statefile to add new symlinks (if any), which need 
to be
# cleaned up on purge. Also remove old symlinks.
deb-systemd-helper update-state 'motd-news.timer' >/dev/null || 
true
fi
fi

And then come the deb-systemd-invoke start bits that were added manually
to the xenial package.

@Jeremy: I think it would be more appropriate to say that the current
motd.ubuntu.com shows an item about an episode of a TV show, which
depicts Ubuntu being used in some IT task.

[Kamilion]

"the news server can generate the most relevant message-of-the-day"

So, you promise it's not just going to return the output of GNU fortune
over and over?

And that the serverside will be hardened against exploitation? PS, do me
a favor and make sure it's written in a dynamic scripting language so at
least I know y'all have to waste CPU time on every request...


Anyway -- I've got to go make sure my containers run this on every login, and 
update all of my live USB sticks so all six automatic logins on the VTs in the 
background ends up hitting your motd server.

Y'all don't mind if I patch it to send random uptimes between 4 seconds
and 4700 years, and claiming to be a ["Tensilica LX6", "Zilog EZ-80",
"Microchip Technology Inc. PIC16F874‑04/P", "EpsonS1C60A16"], right?



But seriously -- some comments in the script (actually, your response
prefixed with #s would pretty much be spot on) would be appreciated;
even if another couple hundred bytes on disk are wasted.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1637800] Re: add a motd script for news

[Dustin Kirkland ]

As with any user agent string sent by any web browser, the intention is
such that the server can customize the response appropriately for user.

e.g. There may be a bug that affects ARM64 users, but not any other
architecture.  There might be a kernel vulnerability that is only
exploitable machines that have been running a long time, or perhaps
machines which are definitely not vulnerable to a regression, if they've
been running for longer than the regression.  In this way, the news
server can generate the most relevant message-of-the-day for a given
system.

Or, hopefully, everything is hunky dory, and then we can wish Grace
Hopper or Alan Turing a happy birthday (a la Google Doodle) in your
Ubuntu system's MOTD :-)

Moreover, it's always easy to disable or customize the urls to the local
user or administrator's liking, or firewall it off entirely.

The goal is useful, helpful, tailored information in the MOTD.  To
actually make the "message of the day", a dynamically and informative
"message of the day".

Cheers!
Dustin

```
read up idle < /proc/uptime
uptime="uptime/$up/$idle"
USER_AGENT="curl/$curl_ver $lsb $platform $cpu $uptime"
```

Uh, okay, I can understand the curl version, the platform and the
cputype; but the uptime of my nodes is nobody's business but my own.

The platform and CPU type are exposed by normal browser user agent
strings anyway, I'm not really concerned if someone knows I'm amd64 or
arm64; there will be other ways to discover that but my uptime?!
really? REALLY?

And I wouldn't have minded as much if there was a comment describing why
uptime was even being included ("This data is used to improve the graphs
publically available at https://errors.ubuntu.com/;) and some kind of
documentation somewhere that this was occurring.

So not just uptime, but you get

[Unit 193]

Why is this in base-files?  You might seriously want to reconsider
adding a phone-home script to a package that can't be removed
considering what happened back a couple years with the amazon lens.
Especially with a user agent that unique.

@xnox:

Totally agreed on https.  I just uploaded that fix to zesty, defaulting
to https://motd.ubuntu.com (which exists now, it didn't at the time),
and enforcing that all URLs should start with https://.

The .timer systemd unit + caching + periodic refresh is interesting,
indeed.  I'll look into a rewrite of update-motd to do it this way.
What minimum version of systemd would I need for it to work this way?

Please use .timer systemd unit to asynchronously fetch these news on

do so safely from https, have templated news, and cache them, at the end
include the cached news into motd.

I'm not sure how a 2-second delay on login for people who firewall off

I'm also skeptical in general here about this being a thing that should
