You can have the login window display the hostname by editing the file
/etc/ttys.  Change the line:

    console /usr/lib/NextStep/loginwindow   NeXT .....
to
    console "/usr/lib/NextStep/loginwindow -HostName localhost"     NeXT ....

(the double quotes are significant) the name 'localhost' will be replaced
by whatever your hostname is defined as when loginwindow runs.
