> We would like to have an option to run the cronjobs again. Well, you could install a cronjob by hand, which is what you would need to do anyway (we're not going to ship a disabled cron job in the package). The harder part is making pam_motd not call run-parts itself in-line. You could achieve that by moving /etc/update-motd.d to a different location where pam_motd won't look for it but then you run the risk that any new package installs that add a new update-motd.d hook will reintroduce the problem (and, furthermore, clobber the work of your cronjob).
So I can see a case here after all for a 'noupdate' module option that disables the dynamic updating. BTW, does check_by_ssh open a tty? I believe there's another outstanding bug about fixing pam_motd to do the update when the motd won't actually be displayed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805423 Title: pam_motd performance problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/805423/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
