[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#437176: initscripts /etc/motd updating

[Erich Schubert]

Hi,
Attached is a small patch which allows users to disable the MOTD
updating altogether in a straightforward way - by replacing it with a
real file or symlink pointing somewhere else.

Note that the SELinux policy currently probably (and probably will
always, unless you implement #437176, splitting the motd updating out
into a separate script!) will break MOTD updating anyway.
So with this patch, all the user would need to to is to replace the motd
file with a static version.

best regards,
Erich Schubert
