disable the list entirely:<br><br> <schema><br> <key>greeter/IncludeAll</key><br> <signature>b</signature><br> <default>true</default><br> </schema><br><br>Change the 'true' value to 'false' and any user sitting at the console<br>will be forced to actually type their username to login.<br><br>After making changes to this file, you will need to restart gdm. You<br>can do this very easily if logged in remotely:<br><br># init 3<br>(count to 10)<br># init 5<br><br>Note that if you keep the list, each new user you add will have to<br>have their username added to the exclusion list in that file to be<br>removed from the list you see in the greeter.<br><br>Good luck!<br><br>--<br>Chris<br>-- <br>users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:users@lists.fedoraproject.org"
