Here's what I do; my defaults database for "root" contains:

loginwindow HostName localhost
loginwindow ImageFile /local/loginwindows/LOGIN.tiff

"localhost" is special; the actual host name displayed is whatever
the /bin/hostname program returns.  Thus, you don't need a different
value for every machine.  Also, it is usually considered rude to
modify the standard supplied files when you can just specify one of
your own.  That's what I did for the loginwindow tiff image.
