By my digging around, I have managed this via (the lines below may get wrapped, but are single lines after the prompt): # su -s /bin/sh gdm sh-3.2$ gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:$HOME/.gconf -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true sh-3.2$ gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:$HOME/.gconf -t string -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text 'Your banner message' sh-3.2$ gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:$HOME/.gconf -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable true and for the background image, you modify: /usr/share/backgrounds/default.xml to taste (you don't have to have timed images as it does if you do not wish to do so) _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
