I tried adding
[greeter] Browser=false
to /etc/gdm/custom.conf to change the login screen. This made no changes in the screen.
Is there a gdmsetup or "Login screen setup" program? If so, in which rpm is it located?

How can I change the login screen? I either want to remove the partial list of users on the systems or extend the list to all the users.

You haven't said which display manager you're using. If it's gdm, the above instructions presumably should work (I wouldn't know). If it's kdm you need to do something different. Note that you may be using kdm even if your desktop is Gnome.

Odds are good if it is gdm changes won't take effect till you reboot or run some obscure undocumented tool to make gdm reread the config info.

I installed gconf-editor and ran the program. There was no disable_user_list box
/etc/gdm/custom.conf initially contained
[xdmcp] [chooser] [security] [debug]
gconftool-2 --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf.xml.defaults -- direct --type bool --set /apps/adm/simplgreeter/disable_user_list true
executed.
However after a reboot, I still have the first two accounts showing up with the "Other" login on the login screen. /etc/gdm/custom.conf has no changes. When I use gconf-editor, I still see the same entries as before I issued the gconftool-2 command.

ya, it didnt work for me either, I tried everything. So now I just used SLiM and dont need GDM at all. There is no user list and its faster.
Another complaint I have is with the terminal windows. When I am using black lettering on a white background, the black lettering look more like gray. With my aging eyes I would really like to have the lettering a real black. I have played with the "color" terminal window settings, but haven't seen an improvement.

Thanks. I also found that "Lucinda Typewriter" without the bold actually was black on white and is easy to read.

Is there a gdmsetup or "Login screen setup" program? If so, in which rpm is it located?
1) Did you restart GDM or reboot the machine? Are there multiple lines that say [greeter] in your /etc/gdm/custom.conf?
It may be that it is now configured with GConf, I keep losing track - try:
yum -y install gconf-editor ; gconf-editor
Then navigate to /apps/gdm/simple-greeter and tick the disable_user_list box that I've just found.
You will probably need to restart GDM, which I usually do with "killall -HUP gdm-binary"
2) No, there isn't a setup program any more. GDM settings are moving to gconf and the state of the gdmsetup program is in flux.

Bad form to reply to one's own post I know, but a bit of experimentation slimmed that down to:
gconftool-2 --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --direct --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
(all one line obviously, needs sudo or root access)

I need to do this on a FC9 system that has 15 users, and the list thus is long....

There is not even a [greeter] line mine.

There is no disable_user_list box in FC9 as there is in my FC10 system. Can I add one?
