It seemed to be the UsePAM setting that made it. When UsePAM is returned to the default 'yes' everything is fine. For some reason (a tutorial on slicehost.com :-)) I set the UsePAM to 'no' without knowing why.
Maybe this isn't the right place to explain why that happened but if anyone would like to do that feel free to contact me. -- motd disappears when using PasswordAuthentication in OpenSSH server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
