There was a similar email a little while ago. Here are the most useful
ideas (bottom is most recent in the response).
Well, you *could* do the "acceptance by logging in" thing... or
you
can
force them to type [yes|no]. Here's how I accomplish that.
Firstly, thanks for the help.
I've done this on a test platform, and I end up with a dialog
box when
I
log into the GUI, but hitting the cancel button still lets me in.
I DO NOT get a prompt when I ssh, nor do I get one from the text
console
or tty consoles (ctl+F1 through ctl+F6).
Any ideas on implement this in those circumstances?
Have you tried implementing this by replacing the user's shell (in
/etc/passwd or equivalent) with your own wrapper script?
Hmmm...replace bash (or leave bash alone and replace the login
shell in
/etc/passwd) with a script that calls bash if they say OK? No, I
hadn't
thought of that. I'll try it on my test platform, and report back.
It
will
be interesting to see how Windows programs like putty and winscp
handle
it.
We did a somewhat-similar task at a place where I used to work. We
set
everyone's login shell to a locally-written perl script. That perl
script
did things such as ensure that the user had permission to log in to
the
system (checking against user database), check the user's quota,
print out
a blurb, then exec( )'d tcsh. It needed some interupt handling,
though, to
fit what you want to do. I don't have the code anymore, but this
might
give you an idea of what direction to go. (Would you need to record
user's answers to your question in a database for future
reference? This
might give you that ability.)
This worked with all of the SSH clients we had around (OpenSSH,
Tectia,
TeraTerm, maybe PuTTY).

Hello all,
I have created a consent banner and wrote a script that I want
called after
the banner has been displayed. The user is then forced to enter "y"
or "n"
to the consent statement.
How do I invoke the script after the banner has been displayed?
For example, /etc/ssh/sshd.conf has /etc/banner defined. So when I
ssh into
the local box, I see the banner. I want to take it a step further
and prompt
a yes or no answer.
I tried putting it in /etc/profile, that did not work because GDM
could not
start. I tried /etc/bashrc, but that did not work well either.
Thanks in advance,
Paul W
