Yesterday I had to restart my B3 after 145 day of consecutive uptime due to dnsmasq freaking out after having disconnected the WAN network cable.

After the reboot I noticed that the motd displayed when logging in via SSH had been reset to the default one.

My questions are

• Which files/configurations are restored after a reboot?
• Which is the proper way to make permanent changes?

Hi gonk,

You can create the file /etc/motd.tail which will be appended to the motd.
This will persist after a reboot. If you want to change it more than that, have a look in /etc/init.d/bootlogs - this is where the file is generated on start-up.
