Description Joshua Jensen 2001-07-05 21:31:51 UTC

I used gdmconfig to enable the "faces" feature during gdm log in.  However,
gdm shows the "rpm" user, along with standard users and root.  Seems like
this shouldn't be.  Grep'ing through /etc/passwd, it looks like gdm is
showing any user with a real (non-false) shell.  RPM has it's shell of
/bin/bash (is this as intented?), as shows up in gdm.  Not a big bug, but
maybe gdm should only show "faces" for users of UID 500 and above?

You give gdm too much credit ;-) It just has a list of users not to show, in
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf

I'll add the rpm user.

Cool.. thanks.  However, it is a never ending battle if you have to explicitly
block each user... maybe a blocked-UID range is a more permanent answer for the
future.
