[Bug 805423] [NEW] pam_motd performance problems

[Jan K.]

Public bug reported:

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release:	10.04

2)  Installiert: 1.1.1-2ubuntu5.3
  Kandidat: 1.1.1-2ubuntu5.3
  Versions-Tabelle:
 *** 1.1.1-2ubuntu5.3 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.1.1-2ubuntu2 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

3) Login on systems with high load/a lot of io wait via ssh should still
be possible.

4) On servers with high load or a lot of io wait login times out,
because pam_motd does io intensive calculations. This hurts even more
when using nagios check_by_ssh. There should be a way to use a cron job
again (like update-motd did). Logging into a system is more important
than motd.

** Affects: pam (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
