Re: CentOS 7.1 user login screen can't scroll up/down

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Isn't there a way to open a box for "other user"?

3. Disable the user list:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Desktop_Migration_and_Administration_Guide/customizing-login-screen.html

This, in fact, *is* the correct answer. That it's enabled is bad.

1. Security. Having the username, which someone being nasty wants to
     break into, but doesn't know it, this is just that much easier.
2. You have over 100 users. That's annoying to scroll through. Certainly,
     each user *ought* to know their own username, and it's faster to
     type it in, than scroll down 5 or so names at a time through 100+.
3. See 1.

Good point. I never liked the user list anyway. Wonder why the RHEL 7 designers chose to add it?
