Shaun,
Meant to "reply-all" (reposting... sort of). The solution Jayson posted for GDM worked...
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
Thank You,

Shaun,
Thanks for the tip. I looked into this some more and learned I could easily change the login display manager. I switched to "slim" which behaves exactly as I intended (tested on a development machine). However, I am still interested in seeing if this is more easily done in gdm (this is for a LiveCD and I'm trying to reduce quantity of packages, disk space, and configuration complexity anywhere possible). I will join the gdm list if my LiveCD test with slim has issues.
Thank You,

There were big changes to the configuration a couple of
release cycles back. I brought up this exact issue and
was assured it was still possible.
You'll probably get a better answer more quickly if you
send your question to gdm-list@xxxxxxxxx
