Thanks, Admins from Sarge expect that after modifying /etc/motd, users logging in immediately see the new message. If we tell them to modify /etc/motd.tail, the message is not displayed unless /etc/motd is regenerated by hand or by reboot. I will submit a proper patch which explains this better. Have a nice day, -- Charles
