John,

Thanks again.  Just a couple of quick questions.  When did  you implement this message, and on what systems does it 
display?  Also, what community sees this message?  Is it everyone including students, or just employees.  Lastly, what 
was the community reaction to the message?

Thanks in advance.

Steve.

I'd like to suggest looking at the Center for Internet Security's benchmark
documents for various Unix/Linux/Windows platforms. They have a recommended
banner message that is a "consensus" message from various areas of the Net
(Edu, gov, mil, com, org). It's a good starting point and we are using them
here at VA Tech. The CIS www site is http://www.cisecurity.org and the
benchmarks and scanning tools are free.
