pam_motd — Display the motd file
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DESCRIPTION
pam_motd is a PAM module that can be used to display arbitrary motd (message of
the day) files after a successful login. By default the /etc/motd file is
shown. The message size is limited to 64KB.
OPTIONS
motd=/path/filename
The /path/filename file is displayed as message of the day.
motd_dir=/path/dirname.d
The /path/dirname.d directory is scanned and each file contained inside of
it is displayed.
When no options are given, the default is to display both /etc/motd and the
contents of /etc/motd.d. Specifying either option (or both) will disable this
default behavior.
EXAMPLES
The suggested usage for /etc/pam.d/login is:
session optional pam_motd.so
To use a motd file from a different location:
session optional pam_motd.so motd=/elsewhere/motd
To use a motd file from elsewhere, along with a corresponding .d directory:
session optional pam_motd.so motd=/elsewhere/motd motd_dir=/elsewhere/motd.d
AUTHOR
