John, I have also seen other systems/networks that were required (by law???) to meet certain criteria with their login banners.
They could not use the word "Welcome..." under any circumstance. The logon banner had to appear on every allowed telnet or ftp session __before__ the actual logon. The user HAD to press [return] before the username prompt would appear. The banner had to include that any and all activity could be monitored and used in evidence by law enforcement officials. What I don't know is whether the banners were in place to satisy some internal requirement (self-imposed) or if it were for legal reasons. Regards, Robert
