ssh

I'd like to prompt a user for some piece of information before they get to their BASH shell when they're logging in via SSH. Ideally, I'd like to execute a script which prompts them for information, check that the information is correct, and then if it is drop them to a shell. So, think:

ssh [email protected]
password: xxxx

do you agree to the terms and conditions of use? enter yes or no:
yes 

OK, here's your shell:
#

Can anyone provide an example of how to do something like this?
