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.
Are you interpreting the requirement as a
"The user must actively press a button" 'acknowledge the consent statement'
or
"by continuing to log into this system you agree/understand the following"
'acknowledge the consent statement'
if you are good with the second meaning then the Welcome setting in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf is what you are looking for.

on F8 in /etc/gdm/custom.conf I had to set
[greeter]
Use24Clock=yes
DefaultWelcome=false
Welcome=our\\n\\n- multi line message
BackgroundType=1
GraphicalTheme=circles
Browser=false
to get something reasonable. I have not bothered with F9 yet as the whole
thing looks like a mess yet.
Please let us know if this gets you where you need to be.
