MOTD not showing on 18.04

  • 772

I'm attempting to get the MOTD to appear on login. Got an old box recently updated and running 18.04.4 LTS. The default MOTD scripts all exist in /etc/update-motd.d/, are set to +x and run successfully using run-parts.

sshd_config: 

UsePAM yes
PrintMotd no

pam.d/sshd:

session    optional     pam_motd.so  motd=/run/motd.dynamic
session    optional     pam_motd.so noupdate

Also no sign of a .hushlogin file for the user.

login motd

  1. Change the sshd_config to

    PrintMotd yes

    and pam.d/sshd remove or comment the following line

    #session optional pam_motd.so noupdate
