Problem:

The following text is shown for all non-root users when logging in via SSH:

The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;

the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the

individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by

applicable law.

Configuration:

• My /etc/ssh/sshd_config includes:

  
  

  PrintMotd no   
  
  PrintLastLog no                                                       
  
  

  
  



• PrintMotd no and PrintLastLog no are overriden by PAM in /etc/pam.d/sshd

  
  

  session    optional     pam_motd.so 
  
  session     optional     pam_lastlog.so   never showfailed
  
  

  
  



• /var/run/motd is symlinked to /etc/motd:

  
  

  /etc/motd -> /var/run/motd
  
  

  
  



• The folder /etc/update-motd.d/ is empty!

  
  

Question:

How can I disable the display of the above notice for non-root users?
