Description Ralf Corsepius 2013-02-04 05:14:12 UTC
Description of problem:

There is a mismatch between the minimum-uid in /etc/lightdm/users.conf
and MIN_UID from /etc/login.defs


/etc/lightdm/users.conf contains minimum-uid=500
while
/etc/login.defs contains UID_MIN 1000

Over all this mismatch seems to cause lightdm to display system users with uids in the range of 500 - 1000 to be displayed in its login-screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lightdm-1.4.0-5.fc18.x86_64

  
Actual results:
System accounts with uids between 500 and 1000 are being displayed in lightdm's login-screen.

Expected results:
* Lightdm not to display system users
* Lightdm to honor /etc/login.defs
