Please do.  It may not fly in all settings, but I’m sure someone will find it 
useful.

DoD is probably the pickiest about this, and IIRC, you can do something 
interstitial as long as there’s no way the user can see a login prompt 
without having seen the warning banner.  The Windows LegalNotice mechanism 
passes muster because a dialog box with the warning always pops up and has to 
be acknowledged before login.  Not sure what they do for systems that also 
have REST interfaces, but that’s another discussion.

However we end up handling it, there will have to be changes to the toolkit, 
but probably not major ones.  Aaron’s idea might work.

I’ve opened an issue on it (https://github.com/perfsonar/toolkit/issues/107) 
so we can think about what to do with it for the next release.
