Creating 'secret' user accounts in 10.2
Of course, there are other ways...
1). Set the UID (user ID) of the user you wish to hide from the Login Window to a number below 500. You could issue these commands in the terminal to affect such a change: sudo niutil -createprop . /users/$USERNAME uid 499
sudo find / -user $OLDUID -exec chown 499 {} \;
2). Simply tell the Login Window not to display admin users:
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow HideAdminUsers trueOne can also affect this change with Mike Bombich's LoginWindow Manager application: http://www.bombich.com/software/lwm.html
I hate GeekLog
Of course it had to eat the backslash...
sudo find / -user $OLDUID -exec chown 499 {} \;
