** Description changed: [Impact] - * Users of containers may never see the MOTD of the container if they are always to the container's shell without PAM being involved. - * MOTD contains important information about the system's health including the security updates to be installed thus it is desired to show MOTD in container shells, too. - * The fix in update-motd is creating a snippet in /etc/profile.d which shows MOTD, but only if UPDATE_MOTD is not set, to avoid printing MOTD twice. + * Users of containers may never see the MOTD of the container if they are always to the container's shell without PAM being involved. + * MOTD contains important information about the system's health including the security updates to be installed thus it is desired to show MOTD in container shells, too. + * The fix in update-motd is creating a snippet in /etc/profile.d which shows MOTD, but only if UPDATE_MOTD is not set, to avoid printing MOTD twice.
