[SOLVED] Restoring Debian vanilla motd functionality

[binaryanomaly]

Hi,

I would like to restore Debian vanilla motd functionality but it seems proxmox has somehow messed with it and I'm unsure of how to restore properly.

I have already stopped and disabled the pvebanner service:

sudo systemctl status pvebanner
● pvebanner.service - Proxmox VE Login Banner
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pvebanner.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)

But neither /etc/motd nor the files in /etc/update-motd.d/ get executed.

/etc/pam.d/sshd does look good as far as I can judge

# Print the message of the day upon successful login.
# This includes a dynamically generated part from /run/motd.dynamic
# and a static (admin-editable) part from /etc/motd.
session    optional     pam_motd.so  motd=/run/motd.dynamic
session    optional     pam_motd.so noupdate

And also /etc/ssh/sshd_config does contain

UsePAM yes

which should trigger PAM which should trigger motd.

Is something missing to restore the debian out of the box behavior?
I'm on pve-manager/7.0-10/d2f465d3 (running kernel: 5.11.22-3-pve)

Thanks

hi,

pvebanner reads from /etc/issue

Thanks. .hushlogin was the problem.

Now everything behaves like it should.
