Trying to create a custom warning banner on login page for splunk 5.0.1. Tried editing the web.conf file in /etc/system/local but the message did not appear...any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Adding this to /system/local/web.conf and restarting :

[settings]
login_content = <h3>This is a custom message</h3>

adds "This is a custom message" above the splunk logo on the login screen

How did you alert web.conf ?
