Title: Login Banner Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Invalid Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This is not a bug report. This is a feature request. Many businesses, governmental agencies / organizations, and universities require a login banner to be displayed upon login as part of security policy. In previous versions of Ubuntu, the desktop used GDM, which supported login banners. Unfortunately, lightdm and unity-greeter do not support login banners. As a result, administrators who wish to deploy current versions of Ubuntu on their networks must do a custom install of gdm and related configurations in order to meet this security requirement. This adds an extra workload for the administrator, as they must perform the software swap, test the configurations, and run any remaining commands to enable the banner message. It is also lessens the ability to rebuild or reproduce a machine in disaster recovery or scripted deployments. In summary, please add to the unity-greeter the ability to display a login banner.
