Description
Core Chef Resource Checklist
Before suggesting a resource for inclusion please make sure your suggestion meets these criteria for resources built into Chef:
- Automates an operating system component that ships by default on systems such as authentication, raid, disk partitions, firewalls, containers, or virtualization systems.
- Does not attempt automate 3rd party applications such as database, web, or application servers, which are best suited for cookbooks due to their fast moving nature.
Describe the resource:
A resource that would allow you to set the content of the system's MTOD
Why should this be included out of the box?:
A lot of organizations want to set a security warning here and we should make that super simple.
What operating systems would it run on?
Linux at least

Done means the resource can manage the system MOTD and has coverage for the stated Linux target.
