For X11 you can modify the Welcome in the gdm.conf or you can add a command that will pop up a window in the global Xsession. If you want something all-inclusive, you can look to adding a PAM module and add acceptance of your terms as an authentication requirement. Personally, I see little utility in these warnings. My reading of the law surrounding computer system access suggests that there is no legal weight in these warnings, and that the system owner (company or government entity) has the right to monitor or prosecute without such warnings. At my last job, one of the lawyers agreed, saying that the real weight is in a statement in an employee handbook -- clicking an "OK" button on screen does not constitute a contract. IINAL, but these banners or warnings are apparently a nuisance at best. thornton - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
