Hi Randall,
This is wonderful. Sorry for the direct email but I wanted to ask you: can it be displayed before the logon screen? The users should see it before they supply username and password.
Two (and a half) things: 1) I'm not sure, but I don't think so, not without some lower-level programming than simple shell scripting. 2) If we put this message on the list, someone more knowledgeable than I might give you a better answer. 2a) I've redirected this reply back to the list.
Thanks, Alberto

Use one of the commands dialog, kdialog or Xdialog to present the dialog you require. They can be given labelled buttons and you can test that the required button was clicked. You can put the pertinent invocation into /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/csh.cshrc and / or /etc/zshrc (and the system-wide start-up script for any and all shell in use on your system).
