Aside from the annoyance of having all local users listed on the login
screen we have noticed with CentOS7 using NIS and NFS home directories
that once a user authenticates their home directory is automatically
mounted on boot, even after rebooting and disabling the list using
echo "[org/gnome/login-screen]
disable-user-list=true" > /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-local-settings && dconf
update
is this a separate issue with our NFS server or is this related to the
userlist?
thanks

After we upgraded our CentOS 7.0 desktops to CentOS 7.1, a critical
error in the graphical login screen has appeared on all 7.1 machines:
We have 100+ users defined in /etc/passwd, and a list of names is
presented on the initial login screen. However, it's impossible to
scroll up or down in this user list to select the desired user. The
middle mouse button seems to be disabled, so scrolling has become
impossible! One can use the left and right mouse buttons to select
one of the users in view, but no one else.
This seems definitely to be a critical bug in CentOS 7.1.

Isn't there a way to open a box for "other user"?
3. Disable the user list:

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.
