Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-45
Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/init.d/motd

As previously discussed via IRC:

PAM 1.1.8-1 includes the pam_exec change from bug 670147.  Please
consider making use of this to drop /etc/init.d/motd in favor of the
following invocation of pam_exec before the motd:

session optional pam_exec.so type=open_session stdout /bin/uname -snrvm

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
