[Test Case] * Log in to the system, where PAM prints the MOTD. * After seeing the MOTD observe MOTD_SHOWN set: $ echo $MOTD_SHOWN pam $ [Regression Potential] * The fix is simple thus i is unlikely to see any regression due to bad implementation. * The newly set environment variable may interact with existing software, but this variable seems to be not used: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=MOTD_SHOWN&literal=1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1855092/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
