I've got a cool custom MOTD that shows up after the login. But before my MOTD a line of text with the kernel version and wrong date shows up:
login as: pi
pi@pi's password:
Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11-rpi-aufs #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 7 23:10:27 CEST 2013 armv6l
I want to get rid of this line:
Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11-rpi-aufs #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 7 23:10:27 CEST 2013 armv6l
I've already tried looking at issue, motd, .profile, etc... But I couldn't find that text anywhere.
Answer no longer works on Jessie for a (virtual or serial) terminal. It's OK for SSH. This post explains what's the problem: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/12/msg00368.html edit /etc/pam.d/login to remove uname -snrvm then the login message is gone.
Found it in the /etc/init.d/motd file. A shell script that, quote:
Short-Description: Create dynamic part of /etc/motd
You can remove the uname line or the whole file.
/run/motd.dynamic which is created by the motd init script? Or does /run get initalized on each boot?

sudo update-rc.d motd remove to pull the script out of the init script pool. manpage

1) Execute Command: "sudo nano /etc/update-motd.d/10-uname" from the CLI
2) Then hash out (Put a hash before) "uname -snrvm"
3) Save (ctrl x) & exit file)
Job Done!
Ctrl-O. Ctrl-X is for Exit, which prompts to save changes if any.
