I need to have RHEL 6 display a logout message to all my users. RHEL 7 does this automatically. I have not had any luck researching this on line up to this point.
I'm not sure I understand why you would want to do such a thing. Are you going to implement it for all shells, or restrict all users to using just one shell? You would have to institute some sort of delay in the logout process to make sure the user sees it. This will most likely irritate most users. I would just display whatever you need to say in the login banner. Your best bet if you really need to do it is open a ticket with Red Hat.
