The MOTD can either be printed by sshd, or by PAM. It's possible that both are doing it. Check your /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the following: PrintMotd yes If that line isn't present it may be defaulting to yes (although Debian/Ubuntu change the default to no). Check your PAM configuration in /etc/pam.d/ for the following: session optional pam_motd.so Try disabling these one at a time to see what changes. share|improve this answer edited Feb 21 at 19:49     answered Feb 21 at 18:27   mgorven
