what happens if someone breaks in to your system? If you don't have some form of banner depending on where you are you might not have any recourse.
But in the Banan Republic (Australia) This banner would be considered illegal, as it is infringing on the rights of the employees. So my suggestion is also talk to your HR department as well to see what you are legally allowed to say. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Donahue [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 1:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: A question about logon banners Does this need to be in the form of a logon banner?

I know that by law we must present users notice about monitoring and such, but which law? Which legal precedents mandate login banners? I was under the impression that it was part of the DMCA but I cannot find any information other than "by law" ... Any pointers would help greatly, my attempt to STFW has come up with zilch.
