commit fe01ef9a518d3596f60e0aa1602762c05132d31f

    Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length (#254)

    The max length is actually 126 (< 127), since the check errors out if
    length >= 127. See
    .

    I didn't look through the history to see when the change happened. I
    just happened to find during a migration that my 140 character MOTD
    didn't work.

    Update sample configuration file as well as the man page.
