Oh, so the answer to my question is that gnome's simple greeter is reading
*his* configuration files - is this as he's logging on? - from his home
directory.

However, I don't see the message from any other server (and we have a good
number), so I don't understand why it wouldn't show up from another 10-30
machines.

But obviously I'm missing something that you're overlooking in your
over-familiarity with gnome and gnome-simple-greeter.
