A Simple Dynamic Motd for Debian

Based on Nick Charlton's tutorial. Many thanks for his hard work.

Requirements

• lsb-release
• figlet
• lolcat
• python-apt

These can be installed with sudo apt-get install lsb-release figlet lolcat python-apt on debian

Note: Lolcat gets installed to /usr/games/ in a lot of cases so it may be necessary to run ln -s $(which lolcat) /usr/local/bin/ to link it back to a normal bin location

Running / Installing

To run, simply ./setup.sh. I highly recommend you look at what it does before you arbitrarily run it, as it require sudo access.

In the sshd config you disable PrintMotd and enable PrintLastLog
