The case for or against there being a user called 'gdm' when one installs a Fedora system is one best presented to the Fedora hackers
It's not just Fedora, it's also Ubuntu. Both systems have pseudousers named "gdm" that cannot log in (their login shell is /bin/false or /sbin/nologin), but which "who" would report with systemd. I assume other distros have similar problem.
A simple fix is for "who" to silently filter out anybody named "gdm". (Sorry, Giovanni.)
Is there a better way to distinguish real logins from fake ones?
