How to make GDM stop showing *every* user account at login screen by default.

$ sudo gconftool-2 \
--direct \
--config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
--type bool \
--set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true

I don’t know why they released gdm with the broken gdmsetup and showing all accounts in the window by default.

It’s a security risk and it’s especially annoying for enterprise users where ldap logins may wildly populate the list.

Maybe they want to abandon gdm? I can already tell many users are switching to KDM if not switching from Gnome to KDE completely. Worst case, they leave for another distribution all together. Great job there redhat/fedora.
