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.
