+Every time you login a long message is displayed that you don't need to see.
+
+Solution
+--------
+
+The contents of the files `/etc/motd`, `/etc/issue` and `/etc/issue.net` are displayed
+everytime you long it. You can prevent them from being displayed by moving them elsewhere.
+
+.. code-block:: bash

+ bone$ sudo mv /etc/issue.net /etc/issue.net.orig
+
+Now, the next time you `ssh` in they won't be displayed.
