Title:
  libpam-runtime misconfigurred module option in /etc/pam.d/sshd

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version:  Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
  libpam-runtime: 1.1.8-3.6ubuntu2.18.04.1

  In file /etc/pam.d/sshd there is part:

  # Print the message of the day upon successful login.
  # This includes a dynamically generated part from /run/motd.dynamic
  # and a static (admin-editable) part from /etc/motd.
  session    optional     pam_motd.so  motd=/run/motd.dynamic
  session    optional     pam_motd.so noupdate

  
  but it should be:

  # Print the message of the day upon successful login.
  # This includes a dynamically generated part from /run/motd.dynamic
  # and a static (admin-editable) part from /etc/motd.
  session    optional     pam_motd.so noupdate motd=/run/motd.dynamic

  
  Current version runs update of dynamic part of motd on every login by ssh, what is slowing it significantly and clearly is not what author had in mind.
