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 Michael On 09/04/15 15:23, m.roth at 5-cent.us wrote: > Liam O'Toole wrote: >> On 2015-04-09, Ole Holm Nielsen >> <Ole.H.Nielsen at fysik.dtu.dk> wrote: >>> 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.
