What we all actually want, configuration-wise is some combination of
these three (four?) directives in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:
greeter-hide-users
greeter-show-manual-login
greeter-allow-guest
allow-guest
I've kept greeter-hide-users as true, but they don't show NIS users, nor
does it appear
I am really worried by this total disregard for `corporate users´,
concluding from your remark:
corporate setups which need ldap login should be able to deal with
custom configurations to enable that (it's a simple configuration
change)
Really? I am a sysadmin at Leiden University, and every new
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-hide-users=true
That should switch the login to a traditional username password field.
Does that work for you?
No, sorry, that looks really bad. Then you only get Other and Guest
Before you got the cached users or frequently logged in users *and*
the item Other.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
** Changed in: unity-greeter (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Confirmed

I mean, if it didn't say Other it would be okay too. Just an entry
field, but not labeled Other, when it's the only field there is.

Other
Thank you for your bug report, dropping the other by default is a
design decision (done in unity-greeter r236) based on the fact that the
entry showed to be confusing for desktop users and that corporate setups
which need ldap login should be able to deal with custom configurations
to enable that
Ok, thanks for the update. Could you please point out the config option?
