[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#741129: Please use new pam_exec functionality to implement dynamic motd

[Josh Triplett]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.1.5.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

With the attached patch, /etc/pam.d/login will use the new pam_exec
functionality from pam 1.1.8-1 to implement the dynamic motd, rather
than using /run/motd.dynamic from initscripts.  This will allow
initscripts to drop /etc/init.d/motd.

Apart from eliminating one more init script at startup time, this also
means text logins will show the correct hostname when it has been
changed after startup.
