I've found out _how_ the /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail work. I'm wondering _why_.
I used to put reminders (like do a backup) into /etc/motd with a cron job. This way I would get the reminder until I removed it. Now, however, to put a reminder and have it appear immediatly, _and_ have it survive a reboot, I have to put it into both /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail. Then when I want to remove a reminder, I have to remove it from both. I can't find any mention of this in the policy manual, there's no mention of the why in bootmisc. I don't know to which package bootmisc belongs to check its docs. Does anyone know why, or who would know why, motd is like this?
