(Get the code!)
"the news server can generate the most relevant message-of-the-day"
So, you promise it's not just going to return the output of GNU fortune over and over?
And that the serverside will be hardened against exploitation? PS, do me a favor and make sure it's written in a dynamic scripting language so at least I know y'all have to waste CPU time on every request...
Anyway -- I've got to go make sure my containers run this on every login, and update all of my live USB sticks so all six automatic logins on the VTs in the background ends up hitting your motd server.
Y'all don't mind if I patch it to send random uptimes between 4 seconds and 4700 years, and claiming to be a ["Tensilica LX6", "Zilog EZ-80", "Microchip Technology Inc. PIC16F874‑04/P", "EpsonS1C60A16"], right?
</sarcasm>
But seriously -- some comments in the script (actually, your response prefixed with #s would pretty much be spot on) would be appreciated; even if another couple hundred bytes on disk are wasted.
