ssh support for /etc/issue escapes, which seems incredibly unlikely.

If people really want to use PAM to do fancy, dynamic stuff with the MOTD, more power to them, but let's please not use a solution with this high of complexity by default. Nearly all normal uses of MOTD are served just fine with some scripts that run at boot and generate a static file, which can then be displayed directly in sshd with PrintMotd (which is the upstream default). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
