U.S. Govt. computing devices (read: routers, computers, etc.) require a warning banner to be displayed at logon. I could forward you a DTG for the last directive, but I don't know if you has access to Federal message traffic, so feel free to email me if you do. My experience with this only extends to the military branches, so I can't speak for other non-military systems. > 1) get confirmation that such a requirement now > exists...and 2) specifically what is needed in the MOTD to fulfill this > requirement? See above for 1. As for the actual message, a copy can be found at: http://www.navy.mil/homepages/cvn65/dod.htm . Bear in mind that again, this is a Department of Defense banner. If you are deploying a system for a non-DoD agency, the wording may differ a bit. Hope this helps.
