After the rebuild of www2 it has come to my attention that there has been an unwritten rule for the web servers: "Do not keep valuable data in your home directories, they are not backed up."

This has been an unwritten rule because until the recent www2 rebuild we did not have the ability to make it a written rule. Cfengine would have overwritten any custom banner, motd or welcome messages we added to the systems. Since www2 is the first of the webnodes to be rebuilt without Cfengine involvement, we can now add this message to the servers and make the rule written.

Thanks.

Some proposed things for the login banner:

* Notice that the home directories are not a good place to store stuff.
* The stuff about unauthorized access.
