Grab the sources for login.  RedHat's RPM uses util-linux-2.9o.tar.gz as a
source.  I don't know if that's standard or not.  Unpack, untar, and take
a gander at login-utils/login.c.  What you are looking for is on line 1197
or thereabouts:
   printf(_("\n%s login: "), thishost); fflush(stdout);

You should be able to go from there... :)

Happy compiling,
