How can I add a message before the user gets the login prompt? Thanks.
 
Refer to the file /etc/motd most probably this is the file responsible for dispalying the message of the day.Hope this helps
 
Create or edit a text file in /etc called issue. (/etc/issue)
The contents will be displayed ahead of the login prompt..

It's like the /etc/motd only it is displayed before the user logs in.

if you want the message before user enter "login" and "password", you can use "/etc/issue".
