Public bug reported:
Version: 0.6.35-0ubuntu7
This bug is visible in lightdm, but it's actually a problem in Trusty's
accountsservice. The code in user-classify.c forces the user account to
be between 1000 and 60000. Any accounts higher than 60000 are
considered systems accounts and not shown in lightdm.
In Utopic this is fixed by modifying the code to not take into account
any maximum, but rather use the minimum and then filter "nobody" and
"nobodynfs".
Editing login.defs is possible but is not enough, because in that case,
nobody isn't filtered.
The patch is quite small and can be backported to Trusty without much
issue.
