John, I'm confused by why you think this is a dup of bug #844039. That bug requests that the Other option be disabled. This bug complains the opposite: that it *is* disabled, even when it should not be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921315 Title: Support case where username is manually entered but local users are shown in user list Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In our configuration, nearly all users are granted access to the system via pam. The User Accounts dialog in Settings shows only a single user which was created at install time...and I'm not sure where from, because we preseed "d-i passwd/make-user boolean false" to try and inhibit the initial user account. We control access with pam_krb5 in common-auth, and pam_access in common-account, and we want all users passed by that method to be able to log in (and pam_access is using netgroups to decide which users should be permitted). So, in this world, I have one account known to the Accounts Manager, and it's the only one which lightdm will let me use: I get no "other user" dialog of any kind. This is a serious bug. We have the standard unity-greeter.conf and access.conf in /etc/lightdm (though the latter is supposedly unused). Our lightdm.conf contains this: [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter user-session=ubuntu allow-guest=false autologin-user= To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/921315/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
