MOTD (message of the day) gets overwritten on each reboot.
Can someone tell me what setting to change to prevent the motd from being overwritten on each reboot?

Thanks

Strange.

Search /etc for the text "motd" See if some script messes with it.

Then set it's permissions:
Code:
chown root:root /etc/motd; chmod 644 /etc/motd
