If you have XScreensaver installed, the easy way to do it is to add the
following two lines to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
/usr/local/bin/xscreensaver-command -exit
/usr/local/bin/xscreensaver &
The first line is ommitable, of course, since it just brings up the
preferences for a couple of seconds when you first enter the login screen.
These instructions are also buried somewhere in the xscreensaver
documentation.
