# motd
A portable fast MOTD similar to Ubuntu's.
Long story short:
## Installation
### As PAM login script (recommended)
1. Copy `motd.sh` to `/etc`.
2. Edit `/etc/pam.d/system-login`:
```diff
-session optional pam_motd.so motd=/etc/motd
+session optional pam_exec.so stdout /etc/motd.sh
```
#### For Debian ^11.6
1. Copy `motd.sh` to `/etc`.
2. Edit `/etc/pam.d/login` and `/etc/pam.d/sshd`:
```diff
-session optional pam_motd.so motd=/run/motd.dynamic
+session optional pam_exec.so stdout /etc/motd.sh
```
3. (Optional) Disable static motd message:
Edit `/etc/pam.d/login` and `/etc/pam.d/sshd`
```diff
-session optional pam_motd.so noupdate
```
### As fish prompt
1. Copy `motd.sh` to `/etc`.
2. Put this into your `~/.config/fish/config.fish`:
```fish
if [ xterm != "dumb" ]
bash /etc/motd.sh; or echo "Failed to show MOTD."
end
```
If you don't like scripts in `/etc`, feel free to choose any other location.
