When login to CentOS 8 using SSH, you get a message asking you to enable web console.
<pre>
Activate the web console with: systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
</pre>

You can uninstall cockpit with command
<pre>
yum remove cockpit*
</pre>
If you just need to disable the message, delete the file
<pre>
rm -f /etc/motd.d/cockpit
</pre>
This is actually a symlink to file /run/cockpit/motd
