There is also problem with shells. In the file /etc/passwd I set: user:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/user:/bin/false
In file /etc/shells I added /bin/false Also checked: # ls -l /bin/false -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22896 apr 1 06:09 /bin/false But still can "user" log in as regular user through GUI. I would like to create user for FTP server (vsftpd), that works only with FTP and not as regular user. I noticed, that at the file /etc/lightdm/users.conf there is written: hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin What does this mean? If /bin/false is hidden, then it is not active and user can still log in? I even tried to remove that /bin/false but it didn't help - still can user log in even its shell is /bin/false -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857651 Title: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher Status in D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account information: Confirmed Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Users that I have appended to the 'hidden-users' field in /etc/lightdm/users.conf are not actually hidden.
