Hide User Names on the Login Screen in Ubuntu

Hi,

This is for to clean the login screen i.e. multiple users listing should not show on login screen.

It can be accomplish with some changes in LightDM desktop manager configuration.

It brings the new layer of security that any intruder should use right user account to login into your machine.

Steps to make changes it in LightDM desktop manager.

Step 1: Open lightdm.conf file i.e.
# vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Step 2: Add below 2 lines in the lightdm.conf file

greeter-hide-users=true
allow-guest=false

Step 3: Above line will hide the user listing on login screen.

I hope above steps will helpful to enable the clear Login screen.
