You may be right byt there's no mention of ssh in the query.

To the OP:

Check that "/run/motd" exists and check its contents.

Check that "/etc/motd" is a symlink to "/run/motd".

Um, no. On Ubuntu it's pam_motd that updates and prints the MOTD.

/var/run is a symlink to /run (which is a tmpfs mount) in 12.04.

On my system it's a system to /var/run/motd, which is also fine.

On 12.04, it's "/run/motd" but there must be a symlink of a bind-mount too.

On a clean install of 12.04, "/var/run" is a symlink to "/run".
