Does anyone have a template for special terms of use that their systems are private and not allow unauthorized access.
Here's a generified version of our /etc/issue (and issue.net) file; this gets printed *before* the actual username/password are entered. *************************************************************************** (insert your institution name here) computing facilities are exclusively for the use of authorized personnel, who are expected to abide by the terms of the XXXX Computing Security and Computing Use Policies. *************************************************************************** (replace XXXX with your institution's acronym if relevant, and alter the policy names accordingly). The motd usually has "Authorized use only" as well as other pertinent information. - Pat -- Patrick P.
