IIRC Tiger showed all users with a UID >= 500. On Leopard and later, System Preferences and Login Window do not show users with a password set to the string "*" as we it when creating users with MacPorts. There is also a global option for the login window to hide specific users: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array-add macports At least I think that's what I did with the messagebus user back then... As Tiger is unsupported now and this isn't a issue for Leopard and above, users might do this by hand, but there is no real need to have the installer do it.
