The greeter settings in custom.conf are obsolete and no longer available in the gnome-shell greeter.
Only disable-user-list is available, Filtering specific users has not been implemented AFAIK. The correct way to do this is to make an .override file in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171519 Title: gdm disregards /etc/gdm/custom.conf exclude user list Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Running on: Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04-BETA2 (Ubuntu Gnome, 64-bit) In /etc/gdm/custom.conf, I have the following config: [greeter] # Only include selected logins in the greeter IncludeAll = false which should remove the user list from the login screen. Unfortuantely it doesn't work. Also adding a specific Exclude for each user will not work. The only fix right now is to have this file: /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-local-settings ### # local system-wide customizations [org/gnome/login-screen] disable-user-list=true ### then running dconf update.
