[Touch-packages] [Bug 1694730] Re: /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news calls home on each ssh connection
Could you please explain why Canonical is tracking user hardware per default without user consent? See /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news e.g. platformn : GNU/Linux/4.4.0-81-generic/x86_64 lsb : Ubuntu/16.04.2/LTS arch : x86_64 cpu : Intel(R)/Xeon(R)/CPU/E5-2650/0/@/2.00GHz uptime: 14507.03/14385.03 Why is this hidden behind useless messages like: * How HBO's Silicon Valley built "Not Hotdog" with mobile TensorFlow, Keras & React Native on Ubuntu - https://ubu.one/HBOubu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694730 Title: /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news calls home on each ssh connection Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: This happens since Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty) Why is /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news hitting https://motd.ubuntu.com each time I create a SSH connection?

Hi there. By design, it does not fetch motd.ubuntu.com with every ssh session. Rather, there's a systemd timer that runs, asynchronously once about a minute after boot, and then every 12 hours (plus/minus a random interval up to an hour). That systemd timer updates a cache file, /var/cache/motd, in the background. At login, it just concatenates the /var/cache/motd file. Note that it's easy to disable, or change to a different MOTD server, by editing /etc/default/motd-news. ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694730 Title: /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news calls home on each ssh connection Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: This happens since Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty) Why is /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news hitting https://motd.ubuntu.com each time I create a SSH connection?
