Is it possible to display a warning of the consequences of unauthorized access prior to logon on Novell? Thanks.
 
You can do this one of two ways:

a) Create a bitmap to replace the normal NWELCOME.BMP file detailing your consequences of unauthorised login. This bitmap will be displayed prior to CTRL-ALT-DEL

b) Check out and look at the LegalNoticeCaption and LegalNoticeText keys under Winlogon

Thanks so much for your help. Looks like this is for 2000. you have something we could implement for 9x until we get to 2000 in the mean time?

Regards.
 
It works in 9x also.


You can also look into using ZENWorks to sned out the policy to add this banner to the login.
 
In the container login script we added the following line:
@command /c z:\security.bat

The security.bat file then looks like this:

echo off
