When I log into my Ubuntu droplet by SSH, I’m greeted with system information and a big block of text about how to access my WordPress install.
How do I remove that text, since it shows the login information? I had a look for MOTD stuff, but nothing seems to be used there.
This textbox defaults to using Markdown to format your answer.
You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
I’ve seen conflicting info about this, but looks like it should be stored in one of these places:
/etc/update-motd.d
Or
/etc/motd
You can always grep for the text to try to narrow it down:
grep -Rl "To finish installing WordPress" /etc
