Configure TOSS to display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner or equivalent US Government Agency Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the system.
The banner must be formatted in accordance with applicable DoD or other US Government Agency policy.
Edit the "/etc/issue" file to replace the default text with the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner or equivalent US Government Agency Notice and Consent Banner. The DoD-required text is:
"You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) that is provided for USG-authorized use only.
By using this IS (which includes any device attached to this IS), you consent to the following conditions:
-The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this IS for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, COMSEC monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations.
-At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS.
-Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose.
-This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personal benefit or privacy.
-Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Such communications and work product are private and confidential. See User Agreement for details.
Verify TOSS displays the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner or equivalent US Government Agency Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the system.
Check that TOSS displays a banner at the command line login screen with the following command:
$ sudo cat /etc/issue

If the system has a graphical logon capability and does not display a graphical logon banner, this is a finding.
If the text in the file does not match the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner or equivalent US Government Agency Notice and Consent Banner, this is a finding.
