This would make sense, in Windows Server deployments I don't believe this is a option either, same with sane *nix deployments (text only), all for the same reason--security. If you've ever set up servers in a webhosting environment, you've probably noticed that once you've installed CPanel, should you have previously had a GUI installed it is now disabled. They take the approach that any GUI is too insecure for a server which is obviously a much more severe stance then that of Microsoft's or Apple's, but on the same token they all do the best they can to strip down and secure their interfaces as much as possible and it would make sense that removing the ability to list users during the login phase is intended to be part of securing server deployments "out of the box". -- Best Regards, John Musbach _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
