Maybe edit the SSH message of the day?

sudo gedit /etc/motd

[a-user]

i have the same issue. i observed the following odd things:
1. i had printmotd set to no in sshd_config but i still got the login message no matter what was in motd
2. i changed printmotd option to yes and edited /etc/motd. result: i got the original logn message twice
3. i rechecked /etc/motd and saw that my changes were lost, i mean it allways gets overwritten with the feault ones imediatly, or when i attempt to login.

so, wihtout printmotd set to yes i get only one message, the default one.
with printmotd to yes i get the default one twice, no matter what content is in motd, it get reverted.

found the solution/reason.
ubuntu has now an automated cron job for updating and modifying motd.

see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...te-motd.1.html.

you must set printmotd to no in sshd_config, otherwise you get the motd file printed double. how you could disable motd printing at all... well i dont know. but if you follow my link you will see how to modify the content.
