login screen banner

I'm trying to figure out why my banner isn't coming up for my users at the login screen. I'm using RHEL 5.1. In RHEL4 I could gdm.conf file and add the "InfoMsgFile=" line. I guess they changed the file in 5 to custom.conf and adding that line doesn't work. Am I supposed to do this somewhere else now?

Damn I hate change... I finally get used to something and it has to go and move...

do you mean /etc/motd?

or is gdmsetup what your looking for?

Well, in version for 4, I point it like this: InfoMsgFile=/etc/motd

That doesn't work in version 5 I guess. Now what I'm trying to do is add a pop up box at the login screen with xml... Not having much luck at that either.
