    Hi everyone,
    
    There is a thread going on, on the sf-basics list about logon banners
    and legalities.  The general consecutions seems to be one of two
    groups of thought;  1)  If you put welcome in your logon on banner
    this could make you legally responsible if you are attacked (meaning
    the attacker can say, "well it said welcome".)  2)  This is an urban
    legend and not really true.
    
    My question is can anyone provide links showing that there have been
    court cases decided upon this?  I found a reference in one of my
    cisco design books but it does not provide links or any other
    cross-reference.
    
    Thx,
    
    Leon
