OK, so moving the task to GDM, where the only problem left is. Updating
description accordingly.
** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) => gdm (Ubuntu)
** Summary changed:
- [users-admin] show UID below 1000
+ Show users with UID < 1000 according to /etc/login.defs definition of minimum
UID
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
+ It would be nice with an option to show users with UIDs below 1000 in
+ the face greeter. Since Max OS X starts their users at 501 I have a few
+ Ubuntu machines set up with with UIDs starting at 501 (since that is
+ needed for the NFS mounts to work nicely).
- it would be nice with an option to show users with UIDs below 1000. I
- know there is an option to "show all users", but that is not ideal since
- it includes system accounts. Since mac os x starts their users at 501 I
- have a few ubuntu machines set up with with UIDs starting at 501 (since
- that is needed for the NFS mounts to work nicely). I'd still want the
- ubuntu users to be able to change their password, displayed name etc.
- Hence I'd like a gconf setting (or something smarter) were I define what
- UIDs should be displayed. Perhaps there is a better way to define "user
- accounts" vs system accounts? If there is a home dir then it is a user
- account? Thanks!
+ /etc/login.defs has a UID_MIN setting that is set to 1000 by default,
+ and which is used by useradd and users-admin (at least) to define normal
+ users (as opposed to system users). GDM should take this parameter into
+ account when hiding system users. This way one could easily set this
+ limit to be 500, and everything would integrate nicely.
** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
