Showing the expected messages in journalctl -u zincati.service in a local dev build of FCOS.

Tested, works in FCOS as expected.

Tested in a locally built Fedora CoreOS image - dracut module is installed to correct place.

Update for 0.16-2.fc29: FEDORA-2019-f96dcbfe3a

Revoking - build of higher version 0.16-2.fc28 was done. Reopening this with updated version number.

Works pulling and running containers with podman and this version of runc installed.

Thank you @jlebon and @dustymabe for testing it by the way!

@jlebon, I think what might be happening is, if you are using coreos-assembler run, login is the mechanism displaying the MOTD. login will only look for /etc/motd by default, or a specified list of paths with MOTD_FILE (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/login.1.html).

Have been meaning to add the /etc/motd.d/console-login-helper-messages.motd path with this: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/issues/244 (though this only solves it for coreos-assembler run).

console-login-helper-messages is relying on something to search /etc/motd.d and follow the symlink from /etc/motd.d/console-login-helper-messages.motd to /run/console-login-helper-messages/console-login-helper-messages.motd - sshd does this today. The generated MOTD should display after the steps you followed, if logging in using SSH.

Will make a note in the docs of the config required for login vs. it showing through sshd by default.
