Solution 1:

In the files /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/sshd cut out the string «session optional pam_motd.so»

Solution 2:

You can remove execute permission:

chmod -x /etc/update-motd.d/*

Solution 3:

use dpkg to list what has put things in your motd:

dpkg -S /etc/update-motd.d/

uninstall it with apt-get:

(for example)
sudo apt-get remove --purge update-manager-core
sudo apt-get remove --purge landscape-common
sudo apt-get remove --purge update-notifier-common

Solution 4:

• There may be the update-motd package was installed with OS installation. You can remove whole package with this command: apt-get remove --purge update-motd in debian and derivatives. You must find out how to remove it from your OS if you don't using a debian derivative.

• If you think you did not install anything for motd or you culd not remove that you can check for session optional pam_motd.so line in /etc/pam.d/sshd and /etc/pam.d/login. Remove line from those files if exist in any.

• Or if you don't want remove anything, you can change files mode to 600 in /etc/update-motd.d/* folder. Folder path might be differs according to your distro.
