RE: Changing the MOTD
I just had this same problem minutes ago, but by doing a grep on /etc
for motd, I noticed that there is a variable called EDITMOTD in the
file rcS of /etc/default that is set to yes automatically.
./default/rcS:# Set EDITMOTD to "no" if you don't want /etc/motd to be
editted automatically
./default/rcS:EDITMOTD=no
