It's considered good practice to have an authorized use only banner display before people can actually attempt to log into a server. Here are a couple for future reference. -- AdamShand

Here's a longish one for business use:

************************************************************************
*                                                                      *
*  == PRIVATE SYSTEM == AUTHORIZED USERS ONLY == BUSINESS USE ONLY ==  *
*                                                                      *
*  ALL activity on this system is logged and monitored.  Anyone using  *
*  this system expressly consents to such monitoring and is advised    * 
*  that unauthorized use will result in criminal prosecution.          *
*                                                                      *
*  No assumption should be made about the privacy of your activites!   *
*                                                                      *
************************************************************************

A shorter more susinct one, though possibly less legally useful:

*********************************
*                               *
*      R E S T R I C T E D      *
*                               *
*           H O S T             *
*                               *
*********************************

     Authorized Access Only 

And of course the half useful, half joking one I use on my personal servers:

************ AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY ************ 
  Unless you have been specifically authorized
  to access this server by Adam, you have no
  right to be here and are politely requested
  to fuck off as soon as possible.  Thanks.
************ AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY ************
