I can't make this work...
Authored by: kananga on Dec 30, '01 06:50:54PM

I've tried this, and each time the plist changes back to the "show list of users" setting. Either I'm doing something wrong, or this doesn't work. Any suggestions? I've been trying to find out how to do this for months!

Try using Pseudo to launch PropertyListEditor (dev tools) as root (Or <sudo open> in terminal ,I guess) to edit /Library?Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist. Note this is the root /Library.

Add a third sibling
>AlwaysClearUserField, and choose <boolean><yes>tags.

Thats it. The other loginwindow.plist in the directory is automatically generated, and shows the uid of who logged in last.
