I've got it working for text logins like ssh but the problem is logging 
in via GDM and/or KDM in a gui environment.  Users are required to 
acknowledge the consent statement before logging in to the system.  
Since gdm-simple-greeter is missing these days, what used to be simple 
is now becoming a problem.
