I have created/edited /etc/motd and /etc/issue. At first they did
nothing at all, but I found /etc/login.defs and followed the hint there.
So now it has the line
MOTD_FILE /etc/motd
for instance. But instead of displaying the file on running login as
root, I get
configuration error - unknown item 'MOTD_FILE' (notify administrator),
and something
similar if I attempt to use /etc/issue.
Looking at /bin/login with strings(1), I find a format string that
would produce this output.
Does anyone know how to correctly enable the message of the day and
the greeting?

I haven't used it but may be worth looking at to compare notes.
