You haven't said which display manager you're using. If it's gdm, the<br>
above instructions presumably should work (I wouldn't know).<br>

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

I installed gconf-editor and ran the program. There was no<br>
disable_user_list box<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br></div></div>
/etc/gdm/custom.conf initially contained<br>
<br>
[xdmcp]<br>
[chooser]<br>
[security]<br>
[debug]<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
gconftool-2 --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf.xml.defaults --direct --type bool --set /apps/adm/simplgreeter/disable_user_list true<br>
<br>
executed.<br>
<br>
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.<div class="Ih2E3d">
