<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Jonathon. mosh-server just copied what OpenSSH sshd does. Do you know how OpenSSH knows it's supposed to print /run/motd.dynamic? (Does Ubuntu patch it? Is there some other location to look at?) If so, maybe we should take the same patch for the Ubuntu packages of mosh.<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Keith</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 4:27 PM, Jonathon Weiss <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jweiss@mit.edu" target="_blank">jweiss@mit.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
On Ubuntu (at least Trusty) machines the motd is split between<br>
/etc/motd and /run/motd.dynamic . Note that Ubuntu Precise handles<br>
this differently and /etc/motd is a symlink to /var/run/motd . So on<br>
Trusty machines where mosh-server prints /etc/motd, it misses all<br>
content in /run/motd.dynamic (on the athena dialups that is all motd<br>
content, as none of it is in /etc/motd .) "man motd" on both Precise<br>
and Trusty contains some useful information.<br>
