I just installed a fresh copy of freebsd 6.0. I went on to try to remove th=
e
version number that appears before your MOTD and I had no luck. I first
tried making a COPYRIGHT file in /etc(with touch COPYRIGHT) and adding
update_motd=3D"NO" to rc.conf and rebooted and that did nothing, it still
showed up. I even went so far as to comment out the copyright statement in
login.conf and rebuilt the DB but it still showed up. I also went to
/etc/default/rc.conf and changed the default update_motd=3D"YES" to no and
rebooted and still it kept showing up. I am at wits end here..... anyone
have any ideas? Am I missing something here?
