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.
