You mean after setting PrintMotd to "no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config? Sure.
The setting is actually there since quite some time, with many reboots

Hi,
I'd like to prevent the motd from appearing when someone logs in via ssh
on an Etch machine.
I already have "PrintMotd no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but the motd
still appears.
Any clues?

Description: PGP Public Key
/etc/motd doesn't really have anything to do with the boot process. It
is displayed to all users when they log in. You could change your script
to just echo the top 3 things and call the script from ~/.bash_profile
instead. That way only you see the top 3 things on your to-do list
Simple question: I've got a simple little
script to take the top 3 things from my todo
list and put them into /etc/motd. Where
should I put this script in the boot process?

Go edit /etc/default/rcS and make sure it says EDITMOTD=no at some
point. There's some other nifty options there, too.

Hello. I would like know how I can print quota information into the motd
for every user. Since we are talking about appending to motd, how can
fortune be appended as well? They should both work along the same lines,
just quota system would be harder, i think.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. Someone posted having a look at /etc/default/RcS and
changing the MOTD to no. I did and that solved it. Having changed the
/etc/motd first, of course.
But Linuxconf should go anyway...
