Hide Users on a Fedora 10 Login Screen
You may want to hide the login ids of users on systems for privacy or security reasons. Although this is possible, the command is very unwieldy. Here's how you do it for Fedora 10.
gconftool-2 --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --direct --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
Ugly, but it works.
gconftool-2 --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --direct --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
Ugly, but it works.

Doing this on Fedora 11 caused it to be unable to authenticate logins. After deleting passwords and recreating them, everything works again. Users are hidden on the login screen and they are able to log in.
