[opensuse] KDM login screen configuration
al though I have a server with a number of user accounts with desktop login disabled, they still appear in the list of accounts at the KDM login screen. What I would really like is to be able to disable this list completely so that no hint is given as to the valid users on the system. Having trawled through yast I cannot see any way to do this, nor can I find a KDM config file to tweak.

Hi Tim, You can do that from the KDE Control Center (kcontrol) System Administration -> Login Manager In the "Users" tab, theres a column with hidden users, check the ones that _shouldn't_ be shown at the KDM login screen. I don't know the configuration file to do this in text mode though. Best regards Sylvester -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Tim,
You can do that from the KDE Control Center (kcontrol) System Administration -> Login Manager In the "Users" tab, theres a column with hidden users, check the ones that _shouldn't_ be shown at the KDM login screen. This tab also holds the option to completely hide the user list btw. Uncheck "show list".
I don't know the configuration file to do this in text mode though.
Best regards Sylvester

The tweak is in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc, along with a plethora of others: # Enable user list (names along with images) in the greeter. # Default is true #UserList=false Or via gui as Sylvester noted -- jim barnes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks to both. Now to my mind putting an obviously system wide setting in a gui navigated to by selecting "Personal Settings" is somewhat counter intuitive, which is why I never found it trawling round Yast! I also trawled round /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/ but failed to look in kdmrc partly because according to konqueror it was a Java source file, not a config file! Also it was considerably bigger than I would have expected from a config file but I didn't allow for the total swamping of the settings by the comments ;( Highly illogical! -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
