I could do that, but this is an internal system, there are some users who are allowed to telnet into it, others are only mounted to it via a samba mount point. The way I had configured this was to let the user login, then broadcast this message and log them out.
Still steering away from telnet -- I presume that you have windows users who want to log in to this machine, in which case you might want to introduce them to the delights of putty -- an ssh-enabled terminal emulator.
I think the real answer is going to be one of the pam modules -- there are several with likely looking names, but you'll have to check the PAM documentation to get more details -- google is your friend.
