Thanks, Tim! This was exactly what I wanted!

I just replaced the call to sprintf on line 6 in user.inc:

sprintf(_("Welcome, %s"), $fullname)

with this:

sprintf(_("Welcome, %s - %s"), $fullname, date("D, M dS Y"))

and got *EXACTLY* what I wanted on the summary screen.

Thanks!
Rick

P.S. I don't know how much this would be requested, but I considered submitting
this to the developers for possible inclusion in CVS. Alas, I don't know how to
generate a patch file. Also, a programmer would probably need to turn this into
an option somehow so it could be turned off; as you indicated, it will give the
date on the server, and that may not always be desired.
