I just spent about 1/2 hour trying to figure out the proper way to disable this motd, I found no documentation other than the above comment.

It's unusual to modify a configuration by deleting installed files.

It's annoying to have administration information on how to use the system in a motd, by this logic we could have just about every software package that has some sort of API add a note to the motd on how to access it.

Where's the httpd motd to "Connet to http://somewhere.com to access your web page." :-(

Or the ssh motd "Login using ssh on port 22 to host somewhere.com" ;-)

Static information - a message that will not change - should not be in the motd.

Please get rid of this motd.
