Don't display user accounts
If you change the user account to have a UID of less than 500 (as I recall), then that user account should not be displayed in the picture-button version of the loginwindow. I haven't done this, so I'm not sure of the procedure ... of the top of my head, it would probably require work in NetInfo Manager and chown at the Terminal prompt.
Don't display user accounts
Well, I'm not *really* worried about locking it down that badly -- it's a home computer, and 99% of the time my fiance & I are the only ones around the computer, nevermind using it. I just want it so that we have pushbutton login access for her, me, and the guest user accounts, and I want to disable login at that level for all the daemon accounts. Very rarely it's useful to be able to switch to one of those user accounts while logged in as myself (mainly for issuing commands as the postgres user), but for the most part I want to make them be dormant. Setting the password to '*' worked, though the UID<500 trick sounds like it's on the right track too (yes, this is easy to do in NetInfo Manager, thogh you could probably use the ni* commands too). |
