Hi,
Add the content of the file /etc/issue in the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf . See the line :
.... ..... ..... [gui]
[greeter] TitleBar=true LockPosition=false ConfigAvailable=false BackgroundType=1 BackgroundImage=YOUR BACKGROUND IMAGE Logo=YOUR LOGO DefaultWelcome=false Welcome=%s: %r - %n InfoMsgFile=/etc/issue <--------------ADD HERE THE FILE Use24Clock=true
.... ....
Restart X11, and a new window will be appear with the content of the file /etc/issue
Regards.

This is a good step, but how do I get the contents of /etc/issue on the gui ??

try a bash script like the following :
#!/bin/sh ADRESS=`ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | awk '{print $2}' | sed s/addr:// | head -n 1` echo "The IP adress is : $ADRESS." > /etc/issue
