As root:

cd /usr/lib/NextStep/loginwindow.app/English.lproj

If you've never changed your login panel tiff before, save
the original (which is just good system administration, eh?):

mv nextlogin.tiff nextlogin.tiff.orig

Then put your new tiff in its place:

cp -p <yourpath/yourimage.tiff> nextlogin.tiff

If English isn't your local language, your *.lproj directory
will be appropriately different, of course.

Then log out, and type exit<return> as the login name; that
restarts the Window Server, bringing up the new login panel.
Woe to you if you've misspelled the name nextlogin.tiff, so
be careful.  

Within NeXTstep, logged on as root, you can open
loginwindow.app with command-O, similarly
<local_language.lproj>, rename the old file, and drag in a
copy of the new one.  

I've been designing a big batch of new login panel tiffs and
am about to release them to the world (I wasn't sure of the
world was all that interested), so I've done this a lot
lately.
