I think we're overcomplicating this. If someone really wants to put data that updates regularly in their MOTD *and* use update-motd.d to do this (we're already into territory that I suspect is pretty rare), we can just tell them to add a call to update-motd to cron or use pam_motd. For me, the interesting question is what we should do by default. We certainly shouldn't remove the code that lets people do more complicated stuff if they really want. -- 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".
