CentOS - Jul 2007 - Centos 5 32-bit vs 64-bit question

I'm trying to install a custom greeter into a newly installed 64-bit 
Centos 5 system.   I originally tried to modify Xsession to include xpop 
/path/to/text_to_dispay as the first executable line, but that didn't 
work.

Then I read about gdmconfig which led to gdmsetup which led to 
custom.conf.

Nothing, so far, is producing a custom banner prior to login.

Is this an issue with CentOS 5, an issue with the 64-bit version, or 
something else I need to learn?

Thanks.

Depends on where you want the banner. For display before anyone enters
any information, I create a custom gdm theme with the text in it. This
way the see it before they enter any info at all.

For click-through acceptance, you can use gdialog within gdm to make
people go through a yes/no acceptance type.

While it's for el3, it should work for el5 also. There are probably
easier ways to accomplish this, but hey...
