.SH NAME
.sp
cdist\-type__motd \- Manage message of the day
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This cdist type allows you to easily setup /etc/motd.
.sp
\fBNOTE:\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
In some OS, motd is a bit special, check \fImotd(5)\fP\&.
Currently Debian, Devuan, Ubuntu and FreeBSD are taken into account.
If your OS of choice does something besides /etc/motd, check the source
and contribute support for it.
Otherwise it will likely just work.

Thus much let me avow\-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream
