Hi Folks
I've just set up a user account for our scanner - no the scanner will
never login at GDM (will ftp in). So, after much gnashing of teeth,
I've given it a uid/gid of 350 so that it doesn't show up in the GDM
login (it seem the only way to hid a user account is to give it a
uid/gid below 500). How long before this rash move turns my machine
into a smoking pile of ash?
Thanks all,
Morgan.

+1 for KDM
I've been able to edit themes rather simply and get some nice custom
login screens and company backgrounds.
