Hi,

So far I managed to locate 2 locations where MOTD is configured:

1) /etc/profile
2) SSH Server's configuration file.

Is there any other file which is configured with MOTD? There's still one more set of MOTD displaying. Initially it's displaying 3......

PS: We're not using openssh. We're using 3rd party tectia server. Thus not in sshd_config.

Thanks and Regards
Eugene
