Same here, on Ubuntu 14.04: * Selecting 'PrintMotd yes' has no effect if UsePAM is no.
Choosing 'UsePAM yes' shows the Motd. IMO, this is is a bug. The MOTD should be controlled solely by PrintMotd. Is there a rationale behind hiding the MOTD if the user logs in with a public key? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543767 Title: ssh logins doesn't show the MOTD when connecting with public key authorisation Status in Ubuntu Server papercuts: Incomplete Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: This is merely a minor annoyance, but nonetheless worth a bug report for the servers papercut team: The method to display a MOTD described in the official Ubuntu server guide, chapter 22 (https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/update- motd.html) doesn't work as soon as you connect with public key authorisation.
