an interesting question, which you may not have found and answer.

i do not know how this would work, and maybe some others can make some
further suggestions.

years back under cromix and early unix, i modified 'passwd' to restrict
logins to certain programs.

applying this to linux, should/may not be all that different.

instead of using '/bin/bash' as startup shell, consider something like
'/bin/bash/consent'.

'consent' could then be a script to display consent agreement and prompt
for a 'y/n' reply. if $1 = 'y' then startx. if $1 = 'n' then exit.

something to think about.

hth.

For text logins, you could use /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net.

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.
