- It's tons easier (and safer) than this. As root, type this at a Terminal
- shell prompt:
-
- dwrite loginwindow ImageFile </full/path/of/your/tiff>
-
- Then log out and type "exit" at the loginwindow. You might also want
- to try this:
-
- dwrite loginwindow HostName "<name_you_want>"
-
- If name_you_want is "localhost", then the machine's host name, whatever
- it may be, gets displyed on the loginwindow
-
- This definitely works under Release 3. Your milage may vary under Release 2.
- And yes, it's documented in the Network and Sysadmin manual, page 232.
- Now if only someone would write a graphic app that you could drag-and-drop
- your loginwindow TIFF into.... (hint, hint)
