In older versions of SL one could include the machine name in the login banner. Somethings like "%n.university.edu" in the login banner config screen would produce "physics1.university.edu" at the login screen. In the present RHEL7 documentation (link below) I don't see this option in the dconf docs. Is there an easy way to include machine name in the gdm login screen? reference, https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Desktop_Migration_and_Administration_Guide/customizing-login-screen.html -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nathan Moore Mississippi River and 44th Parallel - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
