**Warning** This Debian and Debian-related distributions only.
## Dependencies
You need to install some packages:
```
apt-get install figlet lsb-release python-utmp bc
```
Optionnally, you can install `needrestart` which is used to show a message if your server need a reboot (main reason (and the only one I know): you have upgraded your kernel).
If you don't install `needrestart`, it will work, but you won't be warned about the need for a reboot.
## Installation
```
cp -r update-motd.d/ /etc
rm /etc/motd
ln -s /var/run/motd /etc/motd
```
## Salt
You will find a working salt formula in `init.sls`.
```
cd /srv/salt
git clone https://framagit.org/luc/dynamic-motd.git motd
salt your_server state.sls motd
```
