Description of problem: I use ldap for authentication. Because I do not want to list all the users I disabled the user list (gconf setting disable_user_list). When the machine is booted I sometimes do get 'others' selected and only have a 'cancel' option (screenshot attched). After clicking cancel I can log in fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.26.1-13.fc11.i586 How reproducible: I just had it here two times out of two tries. In the school where I have a lab with 14 machines I see it always on a few. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: See screeshot.

We see this also using NIS authentication and disable_user_list: lab full of machines, half a dozen or more of them will not accept a user name until "cancel" is pressed and then "other" reselected. gdm-2.26.1-13.fc11.x86_64 Passwd mode in nsswitch.conf is "compat".

I see this with F11 on most logins, although sometimes it works as it should suggesting some sort of race error. I don't have ldap enabled.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I am still seeing this with a fully updated F12, but for some reason I cannot change the affected version from 11 to 12.

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
