=46rom `man sshd_config`:

     Banner  In some jurisdictions, sending a warning message before authen=
ti-
             cation may be relevant for getting legal protection.  The con-
             tents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before
             authentication is allowed.  This option is only available for
             protocol version 2.  By default, no banner is displayed.


Just modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config with your favourite text-editor and restart
the sshd service and you should be good to go.

Using FreeBSD5.4-RELEASE-p6 myself.
