Description Miloslav Trmač 2011-06-28 04:23:38 UTC 
etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc:MinShowUID categorizes UIDs as system/user using a
hard-coded value 500.  Please use UID_MIN from /etc/login.defs for this; we
plan to change the boundary; this could perhaps be done by extending kdm to parse /etc/login/defs. file for a default value of this setting, then removing this setting from kdmrc.

See attachment 510191 [details] for the proper way to parse /etc/login.defs.

Please let me know if you want me to prepare a complete patch.

Miloslav, patch is always welcome ;-)

thanks
Comment 2 Kostas Georgiou 2011-07-21 10:37:33 UTC 
system accounts are the ones below SYS_UID_MAX not below UID_MIN. UID_MIN is only the minimum that useradd uses, external user accounts (ldap) can still be below UID_MIN.
Comment 3 Miloslav Trmač 2011-07-21 11:07:45 UTC

Similarly, external system accounts can be outside of the SYS_* range.  kdm considers each account to be either a system or user account, there is no "unknown" category.
Comment 4 Miloslav Trmač 2011-08-23 19:33:27 UTC 
Created attachment 519511 [details]
Set MinShowUID to -1

The attached patch updates default configuration to take advantage of the kdebase-workspace patch in attachment #519510 [details].

Because the default configuration uses a themed greeter that doesn't contain an user list, this does not affect the default configuration - but without this patch and the kdebase-workspace patch, users that enable the user list would see various system users in the list.
