Shaun,
Meant to "reply-all" (reposting... sort of). The solution Jayson posted for GDM worked... gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true Thank You, -- cj -- ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: Shaun McCance <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 2, 2009 8:53:51 PM Subject: Re: How to disable display of user accounts at login prompt Shaun, Thanks for the tip. I looked into this some more and learned I could easily change the login display manager. I switched to "slim" which behaves exactly as I intended (tested on a development machine). However, I am still interested in seeing if this is more easily done in gdm (this is for a LiveCD and I'm trying to reduce quantity of packages, disk space, and configuration complexity anywhere possible). I will join the gdm list if my LiveCD test with slim has issues.

There were big changes to the configuration a couple of release cycles back. I brought up this exact issue and was assured it was still possible. You'll probably get a better answer more quickly if you send your question to [email protected] -- Shaun
