``` 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. -- 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/1637800 Title: add a motd script for news Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in base-files source package in Xenial: In Progress 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.
