Portions of this are editable
Authored by: thinmac on Nov 12, '03 08:20:52PM

Just for fun, most of this stuff is editable by the root user. As near as I can tell (I haven't really done much with it yet), all the files for this are in the /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlugins/SCLoginPlugin.bundle/ directory.

Most of it is tiffs of the seals of the various armed forces and the DoD, but if you then look in Contents/Resources/English.lproj/login.nib/objects.nib, and do a search for DoD or something equivelent, you'll find that disclaimer message.

Anyway, it looks like fun stuff to play with. And, to answer the question from above, it looks like this stuff is taking up 2536K, which may or may not be an aggregious waste of disk space depending on your point of view.

Close but not quite correct ;-) The CAC login screen uses this bundle:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgent.app
Within that bundle you can change the following images to something like a defence logo if you like...

/Contents/Resources/loginpanel.tiff
/Contents/Resources/MacOSXart.tif
The defence logo's need to be scaled smaller so that the logo doesn't appear cropped (in a box). They can also be of .png or .gif types. I guess that those with Common Access Card based systems would have a method of using the logo at the right size without modifying it's size. Oh, and always backup before you tamper with system resources.
