LinuxMint uses lightdm and slick-greeter. As they say on the Internet, you cannot change the text of the message there, although you can hide the hostname and configure a few more options . In order to communicate something to users, people are perverted with xmessage, zenity, gdialog and other tools, for example .
Here in gdm you can change the message . You can change the display manager used on your system. Or just a greeter. This is Linux, there are many things you can change to your liking.

If you want to display the local ip and username, then just enter these two commands:

sudo ifconfig | grep "inet addr" >> ./bashrc
echo $USER >> ./bashrc
