WTF BuyVM? (ssh/paramiko)
On one of my buyVM vps, using python and paramiko to script something, this is the output I get:
Linux vps1 2.6.32-pony6-3 #1 SMP Tue Mar 13 07:31:44 PDT 2012 i686

This just makes me want .32 more.
EDIT: Why did you edit out the uname -a part / re-word this? This isn't very mysterious.
Another one of these threads.
LOL Welcome to BuyVM
That's what all my OVZ boxes there do. Welcome to the club
It's the default /etc/motd on some of their templates.
That's pretty cool!
If you don't want it on your server all you have to do is modify your motd file.
Despite BuyVM's love of pathetic pony cartoons, I still respect them as a great host.
You can nuke /etc/motd :P
Welcome to pony land.
Francisco
You get that output from your script too, or just the normal buyvm banner?
He's likely using SSH to execute commands which loads the MOTD. He can either tell SSH to not push the MOTD, or just nuke /etc/motd
Francisco
Ah k makes sense now
Yep, using paramiko/python. Never noticed it however on a normal ssh login.
OMG, I'm making a new thread called: WTF BUYVM! My login motd doesnt have that pony! RAGE
>
Some of the templates are official OpenVZ or turnkeylinux so I didn't tamper with them :P The minimals I did myself so they're sexy++
Francisco
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH DAMN! You got further hahahaha
Nice touch @Francisco
Unmodified* :P
Francisco
That motd have been a while
I'm honoring the effort to make that
What's with the ponies? Is Francisco a Brony?
would assume so
It's just a spoiler for the coming PonyVPS/PonyVM/PonyNode
Edit: And it's funny that PonyVPS.com is actually redirecting to BuyVM.
Did no one read the serverbear interview?
Francisco
That doesn't quite look like the MLP-looking pony in the motd.
True! I couldn't find a better looking ASCII pony alas nor was I going to spend hours trying to draw one :P I took whatever came up in the first page of google.
Francisco
Oh and I thought you drew it. Disappointed
Ah non-minimal, that's why my 12.04 doesn't have it. Guess I can copy/paste from here.
That's funny. Cute.
Not what I'd expect for the motd, but it could be a lot worse.
Contrary to the public statement, I think BuyVM staff watched "Mr Hands" too much
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumclaw_horse_sex_case
Fumoffu.
As per the wikipedia which seems flush with great details about such, ahh troubling matters:
Pinyan's death rapidly prompted the passing of a bill in Washington prohibiting both sex with animals and the videotaping of the same. Under current Washington law, bestiality is now a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison.[5]
A documentary of the life and death of Pinyan, and the life led by those who came to the farm near Enumclaw, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival 2007 under the title Zoo. It was one of 16 winners out of 856 candidates for the festival,[6] and played at numerous regional festivals in the United States thereafter.[7] Following Sundance, it was also selected as one of the top five American films to be presented at the prestigious Directors Fortnight sidebar at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
Quite the mismash of liberal and conservative clashings around that incident. Another academic gone to the strange side of life.
Death by horse.
