Description-en: complements pam_motd in libpam-modules
.
This package installs a script that immediately dynamically generates
a message-of-the-day by running scripts installed in /etc/update-motd.d,
in lexical order.
.
Other packages, or system administrators should symlink scripts into
/etc/update-motd.d, pre-pending a 2-digit number to handle ordering.
.
The functionality formerly provided by this package is now integrated into
pam_motd, in libpam-modules.
