Since updating to RT 6.0R, every time that I log in I am greeted with
a zephyrgram containing an apparently empty message-of-the-day.
Example:
------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentic Personal message at 14:19:49 on Tue Oct 4 1980:|
| From: Saltzer |
| |
| Project Athena Message of the Day: |
------------------------------------------------------------
Some possible clues:
- the update mentioned that it was going to blow away
/etc/motd.gmotd, and it did.
- after two logins I still didn't have an /etc/motd.gmotd.
- after I created an empty /etc/motd.gmotd, empty login
zephyrgrams stopped arriving.
