There's a much easier way of donig this, without having to tamper with the  
NeXT-supplied files:

Login as root and enter:

dwrite  loginwindow ImageFile <path>

where <path> is the absolute path and name to the new login file. Then just log  
out and viola - the new image shows up (no typing errors assumed).
