we should/could use motd file (/etc/motd) and the "PrintMotd yes" flag in /etc/sshd/sshd_config to give some useful info to user login in console

The motd has been desactivated for security reasons some years ago.....in fact they didn't want to say to the guy who is doing a hack what is the system where he is.

Of course for good reasons that could be reactivated.....for example ask about involvment or money to the inactive community

[Stefano]

"they" who?

motd is shown only when you are logged in.. and if you're already in, telling or not you what kind of system is under your finger doesn't make much difference IMHO

[stephdl]

'They' are people with permissions to push to cvs and release  rpms

[Stefano]

is there any reference in bugzilla? during NFR creation "motd" input  in the sbj filed did not give any result

[Stefano]

in any case, things can change

I can't see any reason, only a question (from Ian) to Charlie and Shad.. but no answer.

IMO (I repeat myself), showing system's info and/or any other kind of info with motd is a nosense problem in a security vision.. you see it when you're in, you already have all in your hands..

and, repeating myself again, things can change.. I'm quite sure that this kind of feature is harmless for security and more user-friendly..

[stephdl]

why not, my patches are there if you want to use them as template

[Stefano]

already done my job, see the referenced bug (you'd see something "familiar", if you know what I mean )

we could/should merge the NFRs.. but we should also avoid to have a too long message
