We're case 2. Listing all the users is impossible anyhow. Where would you get the list? But we're OK I believe with listing those who have logged in before on the particular machine. That's not essential however.
Right now the "other" selector is totally missing. It should be impossible for that to happen no matter what is in the accounts manager.

The User Accounts dialog in Settings shows only a single user which was created at install time...and I'm not sure where from, because we preseed "d-i passwd/make-user boolean false" to try and inhibit the initial user account. We control access with pam_krb5 in common-auth, and pam_access in common-account, and we want all users passed by that method to be able to log in (and pam_access is using netgroups to decide which users should be permitted). So, in this world, I have one account known to the Accounts Manager, and it's the only one which lightdm will let me use: I get no "other user" dialog of any kind. This is a serious bug. We have the standard unity-greeter.conf and access.conf in /etc/lightdm (though the latter is supposedly unused). Our lightdm.conf contains this: [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter user-session=ubuntu allow-guest=false autologin-user= To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/921315/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
