Michel Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) I hope this can help someone maybe. I was lookign how to hide a user in mandrake's login manager. I couldn't find a graphical way, so I started looking for their config-file. The login-manager's config-files are in /usr/share/config/kdm It seems that the file with the settings is kdmrc. Everything is documented in the file. I hope changes will happen when I get teh login manager next time. Mayeb you have to run a command afterwards, but if so..I'll write this also here. You can do several things: do you want to allow only local logins?, which users you don't want to show?, do you would likeno password for some users?, do you want to show users with a uid below xxx?, allow root to login?, who may shutdown the computer? (I thought there was also a setting for this in /usr/share/msec/level.x : not sure though ), ... Edited May 9, 2004 by Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 For the Gui way do: KD contol center>>>>>System Admin>>>>>>>Login Manager Select the "users" tab at the top, and then in the show users box, tick "selected only" then tick your_name and who ever else you want listed. Click apply. And thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
