Changing Welcome Screen In Ubuntu


Inside /etc/update-motd.d folder there are files as per number sequence they are called in ascending order of filenames. 

Keep a backup of the folder and modify the files to achieve the result.  

After editing the file, restart SSHD:  
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart  

Then to disable the last login message (which I dont recommend doing), you will need to edit the following file in sudo mode:  
/etc/ssh/sshd_config  

Find this line in the file and change the yes to no as shown:  
PrintLastLog no
