Solution

Configure the operating system to display a banner before granting access to the system.

Note: If the system does not have a graphical user interface installed, this requirement is Not Applicable.

Create a database to contain the system-wide graphical user logon settings (if it does not already exist) with the following command:

$ sudo touch /etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-banner-message

Add the following lines to the [org/gnome/login-screen] section of the '/etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-banner-message':

[org/gnome/login-screen]

banner-message-enable=true

Run the following command to update the database:

$ sudo dconf update
