I tried different methods but couldn't find settings, that would work and let me hide specific users from login screen. Also would be fine to hide all users (manually created) with UID/GID lower than 1000!
How can I do it?
I managed to achieve what I wanted by giving UID/GID, 23 and 24 to the needed users.
I think by default everything that is lower than 100 is hidden. Editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf didn't work for me.
This solution has worked fine for me!
I confirm that the solutions works. Actually, it's any user whose UID is less than 1000 that is not shown (GID may be whatever you want). Thanks.
According to archlinux wiki, if you open
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/<username>
and add/change this line
[User]
SystemAccount=true
it should hide the user from GDM. I just tested and it works here on Fedora 20. Should be the same as changing the UID to < 1000, without changing file ownership.
