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 !!

I'm late to this discussion, but I went to the ElderGeek page and tried to use the command there to display the theme and got this:
[mhr@mhrichter ~]$ cat /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | grep GraphicalTheme= cat: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf: No such file or directory [mhr@mhrichter ~]$ locate gdm.conf
<nothing there>
So, how does this work under CentOS?
Thanks.

[mhr@mhrichter ~]$ locate xdm.conf [mhr@mhrichter ~]$ locate kdm.conf [mhr@mhrichter ~]$

Doubted it, but:
[mhr@mhrichter ~]$ sudo updatedb Password:
[mhr@mhrichter ~]$ locate gdm.conf [mhr@mhrichter ~]$ locate kdm.conf [mhr@mhrichter ~]$ locate xdm.conf [mhr@mhrichter ~]$
Seems more than a little strange...
[mhr@mhrichter ~]$ locate gdm | grep conf /etc/gdm/custom.conf /etc/gdm/securitytokens.conf /usr/share/doc/gdm-2.16.0/configuration.xhtml /usr/share/doc/gdm-2.16.0/exampleconf.xhtml /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf /usr/share/gdm/factory-defaults.conf [mhr@mhrichter ~]$ cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf | grep GraphicalTheme= [mhr@mhrichter ~]$ cat /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf | grep GraphicalTheme= GraphicalTheme=TreeFlower [mhr@mhrichter ~]$
Ah!
mhr
The directory indicated on ElderGeek is wrong, check this:
cat /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf | grep GraphicalTheme= Cheers
