First, MOTD has been disabled inside +of the jails because it does not give information about the jail, but about the host +system. This caused confusion for some users, so we implemented the .hushlogin which +silences the MOTD at login. + +Also, uname does not work from within a jail. Much like MOTD, it gives you the version +information about the host system instead of the jail. If you need to check the version +of freebsd running on the jail use the freebsd-version command to get accurate information. -Also, the MOTD also was reporting the host system instead of the jail. This -caused a lot of confusion for users, so the MOTD was disabled by the use of -the .hushlogin file. This prevents confusing contradictory information to be -shown to the user.
