This was not required in 12.04 LTS. In 12.04 LTS users were only hidden if they had UID < UID_MIN. In 13.10 this was changed to UID < UID_MIN or UID > UID_MAX. [Test Case] 1. Create a user with a UID > UID_MAX: $ adduser --uid 60001 big-uid 2. Restart system Expected result: "big-uid" is shown in the greeter. Once logged in "big-uid" is shown in system settings. Observed result: "big-uid" is not shown in the greeter (14.04 LTS, 14.10) "big-uid" is not shown in system settings (13.10, 14.04LTS, 14.10) [Regression Potential] This could cause users that were previously hidden to be shown. This seems unlikely to be a problem as all system created user accounts are less than UID_MIN and there doesn't seem be a convention to use accounts > UID_MAX for this case.
