I used the user / groups editor to change some of the ones that were showing to UID numbers of 900, 901 and 902, and now, I don’t see them in the user editor anymore (though they are still real, and I can login with them)… what gives???

If you were to re-create the account for your friend to use a UID number less than 1000 he _probably_ wouldn't show up in the list. Check out the man page for 'adduser', or try to manually set the UID for that account. Andrew – The list of users at login should be generated based on users above a certain UID number.

I allow a few friends to have shells remotely from this box and I would prefer if their logins didn't show up. I've looked for such an instance but I can't seem to find it. This method will work for me although if you know of how to do what I want it would work just a little better. Thanks. I’m trying to hide a single user from the login list.

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:30:36 +0000 http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/?p=1377#comment-10092 I've tried this fix, and while it works at first, the effect does not seem to persist, and it reverts to the list after one (or maybe two) cold starts for some reason. This happens for me on multiple machines running Karmic. Overall, I really like the GNOME desktop, but this kind of incessant dumbing-down of the UI -- coupled with unreliable alternatives for the "power user" -- gets to be annoying!
