Take the simple-greeter "disable_user_list" setting. In GNOME, you either have to use gconftool-2 or install and use gconf-editor to switch "disable_user_list" on or off. On OS X (which is supposed to be for people who don't know how to use computers...), changing the equivalent setting is an easily-clickable option in the "Accounts" pane of "System Preferences". -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
