MOTD gets rewritten

Question

Every time I restart my server my motd banner gets rewritten.
What program (or startup script) is doing this, and how can I disable it?

I typically disable this and I cannot recall what does it off of the top of my head. I believe that it is an init script, try running this to find it:

find /etc -type f -exec egrep '(motd|issue)' {} \;

You might want a `-H` on that `egrep`. – Dennis Williamson Sep 24 '10 at 17:01
