Aside from the annoyance of having all local users listed on the login screen we have noticed with CentOS7 using NIS and NFS home directories that once a user authenticates their home directory is automatically mounted on boot, even after rebooting and disabling the list using
echo "[org/gnome/login-screen] disable-user-list=true" > /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-local-settings && dconf update
is this a separate issue with our NFS server or is this related to the userlist?
thanks

After we upgraded our CentOS 7.0 desktops to CentOS 7.1, a critical error in the graphical login screen has appeared on all 7.1 machines:
We have 100+ users defined in /etc/passwd, and a list of names is presented on the initial login screen. However, it's impossible to scroll up or down in this user list to select the desired user. The middle mouse button seems to be disabled, so scrolling has become impossible! One can use the left and right mouse buttons to select one of the users in view, but no one else.
This seems definitely to be a critical bug in CentOS 7.1.

- Disable the user list:

This, in fact, *is* the correct answer. That it's enabled is bad.
Security. Having the username, which someone being nasty wants to break into, but doesn't know it, this is just that much easier.
You have over 100 users. That's annoying to scroll through. Certainly, each user *ought* to know their own username, and it's faster to type it in, than scroll down 5 or so names at a time through 100+.
