Public bug reported:

This could either be in libpam0g or libpam0g-modules, not sure.

 I have a fresh Ubuntu 14 install with the latest pam_motd. I added a cool shell
script in /etc/update-motd.d/99-coolStuff

Verified correct syntax. doing a run-parts . from that dir gave me
correct results. But the correct results didn't show up when logging in.
Eventually I figured out camel casing the file name breaks pam_motd. :(

99-coolstuff works fine from login.

Not sure if this is by design, but run-parts didn't care and I thought
this emulated the behavior of that package- at least that's what your
documentation says. Speaking of docs- there is SO much stale info about
the old update-motd package out there that it took an obnoxious amount
of time to figure out what package this was in. An update to this man
page saying it isn't done in cron and update-motd has been superseded by
this would be good.
