    Resolved Create login screen message on a machine running FileVault?

    I know that it is possible to create a lock screen message on a machine that is running FileVault, but is it possible to create a login screen message? It seems that this might be tricky since the boot process does not really even begin until a password is entered. Any thoughts?

    Tomorrow I have agreed to lend my machine to someone and multiple others may use it in the day.

Now, while I do trust...
