Is there a way to prevent ubuntu/gnome to show the user name(s) at the login screen?

Only asking "username" and not "login as"?

Security wise...
thanks

I think what you want is to disable the user list, do it through gconf editor,

Alt+F2 then type in: gconf-editor
Navigate to: apps/gdm/simple-greeter
check: disable user list

I think that should do the trick, if i remember correctly thats how i did it in karmic, havent tried it in lucid though

Just another trick:

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
