We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Message of the day

This is a simple Puppet module to manage the Message of the day on unix operating systems.

This is Ryan's fork of Jeff McCune's work. Code will most likely be ported upstream once a few rounds of functionality are built and tested. It could also potentially replace the puppetlabs-motd module so please offer feedback now!
