There really needs to be an easy, documented, way to kill off the face browser once and for all. The face browser would suffer from the following defects in our situation: 1. With thirty public workstations patrons would appear on some and not others, leading many to the conclusion they need to continue to login on the first machine they used. Recipe for total CHAOS. 2. It is bad enough that a knowledgeable user can get data (ypcat for example) on other users, putting it right up on the login screen, even without doing something as insane as posting actual photos, is just asking for someone to ask us how that can possibly comply with state laws regarding the privacy of library patron information.
Ultimately, it comes down to this: administrators need to be able to configure a user-selection policy and optionally disable faces, at a minimum.
