10.3: Use a more secure screen lock alternative
Does anyone know how to disable the listing of names in the Fast User Switching menu to just get the Login Window item by itself, or some other shortcut to get the FUS login without going to this menu? The menu takes around 15 seconds to display because of the huge number of (work) accounts that have access to this machine. So much for *fast* switching. :-)

IIRC UIDs below 500 don't show in loginwindow user list. So, my best guess is changing UIDs of all users at your place below 500 might work. Possibly that will poof users listing from Fast User Switching menu, too.

Yep, users with uids under 500 do not show up in the FUS menu. It's kind of a pain for me, though. My uid is 405 to maintain compatibility with other older systems on my network. I'm used to not showing up in the loginwindow -- that's no problem. Just down-arrow, option-enter and I get a standard name/password login box. And loginwindow correctly handles a case where a sub-500 uid is currently logged in - then it shows that user. But the Fast User Switching menu never shows uids under 500, even when they are logged in.

Looks like it is possible to switch without this menu after all. See this hint for details. |
