We don't display that message anymore and haven't for quite some time.
 What version of GDM are you using?

inside /usr/share/xsessions there is a desktop file corresponding to
the session you log in with.  That binary is the thing that needs to
exit with a 66 status.  Probably the easiest way to make it do that is
to create a shell script wrapper that runs the binary like

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/whatever-session
exit 66

(where whatever-session is the thing mentioned in the Exec line of the
desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions for the session you're logging in
with)
