I forgot to mention that this file is recreated on every boot, to show
the current kernel version accurately.  You'll want to edit
/etc/motd.tail as well to make the changes persist.

Regarding the other answer you've received (about uncommenting the
Banner line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config): if you do that, you'll get an
extra message in addition to /etc/motd, probably displayed before it.
