Hi Bill, I had to do a similar thing recently. This is how I did it: 1/ Place banner message in /etc/issue 2/ Added the following to /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default and to /etc/X11/gdm/Init/0: # Login banner if ! /usr/bin/gdialog --textbox /etc/issue 60 100; then sleep 10 exit 1; fi I know nothing about zenity but I presume you could put a zenity command(?) into the Default and 0: files instead of the gdialog command and get similar results. I had to do some extra work to make sure this worked for ssh logins too.
