Is there a way to permanently remove the cockpit.socket message?

[AkosPrime]

I've removed the /etc/issue.d/cockpit.issue symlink. I've even removed what it points towards (/run/cockpit/motd). But this only works until the system is rebooted. Does anyone know a way to permanently stop this from being placed in the /etc/issue.d on every reboot?

I think I have managed to stop this annoying message:

I removed the/etc/issue.d/cockpit.issue and /etc/motd.d/cockpit.issue symlinks and also had to mask the cockpit-motd service:
systemctl mask cockpit-motd
