I have disabled the gdm user list using the following command:
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list --type bool true
This works until there is an update for gdm, after which the user list reappears and I have to run the command again.
I thought about adding a diversion for /var/lib/gdm/.gconf.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml so that I could edit the defaults and prevent the return of the user list, but I run Xubuntu, which already diverts that file so that it can change the default gdm configuration.
Does anyone know an alternative way to disable the user list that will be persistent without the need to redivert the gconf defaults? Or perhaps just the syntax to use for dpkg-divert that will allow me to redivert the file?
