Hi Daniel,
It is up to the greeter to choose if it shows anything like this.
In the case of Unity Greeter, it does not have this feature but there is a
method to workaround it [1]. I'm not sure if any other greeters have this
feature.
Note, I just added some functions into liblightdm for version 1.21.0 which
allows a greeter to easily get the contents of /etc/motd if they are
interested in implementing a login banner.
Hope this helps,
--Robert
