uname -a on /etc/motd

[Randy Edwards]

   Could someone tell me what process is putting what appears to be the
output of a uname -a at the top of /etc/motd?

   I delete that regularly since IMHO it doesn't look very pretty, but try
as I might, Linux seems to have more patience at putting it there then I do
at removing it. :-)

Set EDITMOTD=false in /etc/init.d/boot

Better make that EDITMOTD=no


from /etc/init.d/boot:

if [ $EDITMOTD != no ]
then
uname -a  /tmp/motd
sed 1d /etc/motd  /tmp/motd
mv /tmp/motd /etc/motd
fi
