[Bug 543767] Re: ssh logins doesn't show the MOTD when connecting with public key authorisation

 

Same here, on Ubuntu 14.04:

* Selecting 'PrintMotd yes' has no effect if UsePAM is no.

Choosing 'UsePAM yes' shows the Motd.

IMO, this is is a bug. The MOTD should be controlled solely by
PrintMotd. Is there a rationale behind hiding the MOTD if the user logs
in with a public key?

Title:
  ssh logins doesn't show the MOTD when connecting with public key
  authorisation

Status in Ubuntu Server papercuts:
  Incomplete
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This is merely a minor annoyance, but nonetheless worth a bug report
  for the servers papercut team:

  The method to display a MOTD described in the official Ubuntu server
  guide, chapter 22 (https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/update-
  motd.html) doesn't work as soon as you connect with public key
  authorisation.

  Connecting /w password only shows the MOTD correctly.
