Title:
old motd is displayed on login
Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On Trusty, during login, the motd displayed is from the cache file
/run/motd.dynamic. After being displayed, the scripts from /etc
/update-motd.d are run to refresh /run/motd.dynamic. This behavior of
displaying the cache first is not very convenient and didn't happen on
Precise. This is also does not match the documentation (man 5 update-
motd) nor the users' expectations.
Steps to reproduce:
$ cat << "EOF" | sudo tee /etc/update-motd.d/60-test
#!/bin/sh
printf "motd from: $(date +%T)\n"
EOF
$ sudo chmod +x /etc/update-motd.d/60-test
$ echo 'echo "real time: $(date +%T)";exit' | ssh -T localhost

motd from: 6:05:43
real time: 12:36:14
The above is just an example of how old/stale the output can be.
