Hello,
SSH does have 'banner'. This is a pre login (pre-authentication
banner) message.
Example:
Banner /etc/issue.net
The contents of /etc/issue.net will be sent to the client upon
connect and before entering a password.
SSH also has 'PrintMotd'. This is a post login "message of the
day" (post-authentication banner) message. The file's location is
system dependent and is often located at /etc/motd.
Example:
PrintMotd yes
The contents of MOTD will be sent to the client after successfully
logging in before running the users shell.
Also, nothing is stopping an Admin from editing the "/etc/
profile" (or whatnot) file adding in banner as well (echo statements).
One cannot control the client software. Don't try to. Control what
you can, the server. Using the three banners as above shows that
every effort to display a banner was made.
Regards,

In today's world of legal MumboJumbo and Sarbanes-Oxley, I like to
know
if it's possible to always display the banner when one connects in an
interactive mode and prevent the '-q' option or Loglevel quite in the
config file from being enforced? Basically, we'd like to always
display
a legal banner when one connects interactively to our systems.
