Confirmed here as well - with mine it's the NX (No Machine) user that can't have the shell changed, so I'm stuck with it's account in GDM. # cat /etc/passwd | grep ^nx nx:x:992:988::/usr/NX/home/nx:/usr/NX/bin/nxserver # cat /etc/login.defs | egrep "(G|U)ID_MIN" UID_MIN 1000 SYS_UID_MIN 201 GID_MIN 1000 SYS_GID_MIN 201 # rpm -q gdm gdm-3.4.1-3.fc17.x86_64 It's worse than that. We have "passwd: compat" in nsswitch.conf, and "+" at the bottom of the password file. Guess what: gdm offers "+" as a possible login. So we finally made the switch to kdm. :-( I believe we fixed this in recent accountsservices. Possibly this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/commit/?id=f381a903ba85184355c620b90991474ded39fed8 I'll test tonight and let you know. Thoughts: If either of the below functions are returning false, then the users in question will still appear: user_get_system_account (user) daemon_local_user_is_excluded (data->daemon, name, shell) (In reply to comment #4) > I'll test tonight and let you know. > > Thoughts: If either of the below functions are returning false, then the > users in question will still appear: > > user_get_system_account (user) > daemon_local_user_is_excluded (data->daemon, name, shell) Any update on this? Confirm as well: $ rpm -q gdm gdm-3.4.1-3.fc17.x86_64 $ cat /etc/passwd | egrep "eric" eric:x:498:717::/home/eric:/bin/bash $ cat /etc/login.defs | egrep "(G|U)ID_MIN" UID_MIN 1000 SYS_UID_MIN 201 GID_MIN 1000 SYS_GID_MIN 201 This is still a problem in f18 as well.
