I'm not sure if you're looking for a banner on all workstations regardless
of how they login, or one _after_ the user logs in. If the latter ...

What I've done is to insert a few lines in the login .cmd file, copies kept
on all PDC/BDC machines. If lines of text in a command prompt window aren't
snazzy enough, easy to launch a TCL/TK applet that displays the
warning/MOTD.
