.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBpam_motd\&.so\fR\ 'u
\fBpam_motd\&.so\fR [motd=\fI/path/filename\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fBmotd=\fR\fB\fI/path/filename\fR\fR
.RS 4
The
/path/filename
file is displayed as message of the day\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBmotd_dir=\fR\fB\fI/path/dirname\&.d\fR\fR
.RS 4
The
/path/dirname\&.d
directory is scanned and each file contained inside of it is displayed\&.
.RE
.PP
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\&.
.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
.PP
Only the
\fBsession\fR
module type is provided\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.PP
PAM_IGNORE
.RS 4
This is the only return value of this module\&.

.SH "EXAMPLES"

is:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}

.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
To use a
motd
file from a different location:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
session optional pam_motd\&.so motd=/elsewhere/motd
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
To use a
motd
file from elsewhere, along with a corresponding
\&.d
directory:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
session optional pam_motd\&.so motd=/elsewhere/motd motd_dir=/elsewhere/motd\&.d
.fi
.if n \{\
