-----------
This cdist type allows you to easily setup /etc/motd.
.. note::
In some OS, motd is a bit special, check `motd(5)`.
Currently Debian, Devuan, Ubuntu and FreeBSD are taken into account.
If your OS of choice does something besides /etc/motd, check the source
and contribute support for it.
Otherwise it will likely just work.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS

-------------------
source
If supplied, copy this file from the host running cdist to the target.
If source is '-' (dash), take what was written to stdin as the file content.
If not supplied, a default message will be placed onto the target.

# Supply source file from a different type

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream
