Customize SSH login welcome screen on Ubuntu
July 20th, 2009
I am using Ubuntu 9.04.
To show a customized welcome message screen after login, you just need to edit file /etc/motd.tail, (NOT /etc/motd as many people thought).
You can see the effect after you reboot your machine.
If you cannot afford to reboot your server, here’s what you should do:
sudo update-motd –diable
And then edit both files /etc/motd.tail and /etc/motd
Resource: ASCII-generator, more instructions about motd.
cool!
