Well, I have had to tweak this it a little, bit it finally worked fine. Initlally, the arial.ttf could not be found, so that I had to force the use of courier regular I'm using the standard default Treeflower theme. The following does toe job:
cd /usr/share/gdm/themes/TreeFlower/background.png \ /usr/share/gdm/themes/TreeFlower/background-original.png
gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default
Insert the following lines cd /usr/share/gdm/themes/TreeFlower convert -pointsize 40 -font Courier-Regular -draw \ "fill yellow text 1500,200 " \ `ifconfig eth0 | awk '/inet addr/{print $2 }'`"" \ background-original.png background.png
between sysmodmap=/etc/X11/Xmodmap
and XMODMAP=`gdmwhich xmodmap`
Thanks for the help !!
