Same here, on Ubuntu 14.04: * Selecting 'PrintMotd yes' has no effect if UsePAM is no.
Choosing 'UsePAM yes' shows the Motd. IMO, this is is a bug. The MOTD should be controlled solely by PrintMotd. Is there a rationale behind hiding the MOTD if the user logs in with a public key? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543767 Title: ssh logins doesn't show the MOTD when connecting with public key authorisation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/server-papercuts/+bug/543767/+subscriptions -- 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
