Title:
add a motd script for news
Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in base-files source package in Xenial:
In Progress
Bug description:
Add a new update-motd script for printing news and/or important
notices.
== SRU ==
[IMPACT]
We should add important security messages or other news to the MOTD.
[TEST CASE]
Login to the system and ensure that the "news" section of the motd is
displayed. Note that you might need to force trigger an update by running
'sudo update-motd'.
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
No reasonable regression potential. The script simply prints 2 lines of text
to the MOTD.
