Problem:

Many administrators are unaware of the possible legal requirement to serve notice to users and potential attackers of the limits associated with using a system.

Cure:

Any legal notice required can be printed for each user at login by putting the notice in the `etcmotd' file. The message of the day only prints a message, and you might consider a verification program that prompts to assure that the user has read the message. This can be implemented in `etcprofile', which is interpreted at every login using Sh or Csh.
