Hi, My FreeBSD details are: FreeBSD 11.3 I have the following option in my /etc/rc.conf: *update_motd="YES"* Every time I reboot, the output from the "uname" command is prepended to the previous reboot in the /etc/motd file. So on 3 restarts, it prints like this: *$ ssh user@ip* *FreeBSD user 11.3 ...* *FreeBSD user 11.3 ...* *FreeBSD user 11.3 ...* *<my actual motd>* Here's what I have tried already: - Searched the mailing list for any mention of "motd" or "update_motd". None match my issue. - Searched the FreeBSD bugzilla for "motd", there are 2 bugs, none of which match my issue. - Read the man page for rc.conf and motd, they don't give any hints on bugs. So I'm not sure if this is even a bug. Can someone please help out on this. Thanks and Regards.
