- Here's what I do; my defaults database for "root" contains:
-
- loginwindow HostName localhost
- loginwindow ImageFile /local/loginwindows/LOGIN.tiff
-
- "localhost" is special; the actual host name displayed is whatever
- the /bin/hostname program returns. Thus, you don't need a different
- value for every machine. Also, it is usually considered rude to
- modify the standard supplied files when you can just specify one of
- your own. That's what I did for the loginwindow tiff image.
