Description Mark McLoughlin 2004-06-04 13:12:39 UTC 
From:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119129

The gdmsetup autologin drop-down userlist includes nfsnobody, but
shouldn't.

The reason is that nfsnobody's UID is 65534 which doesn't get filtered by
MinimalUID=500 in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.
Comment 1 Mark McLoughlin 2004-06-04 13:14:34 UTC 
So, there's a few ways we could fix this:

 1) Hack: manually exclude UID 65534 from the list

 2) Add MaximalUID

 3) Respect the "Exclude" preference in the gdmsetup combos

Attaching a patch from Tim Waugh to do (1)

Comment 3 George Lebl 2004-08-18 19:41:18 UTC 
fixed in cvs by use of the Exclude= preference,

BTW: whoever made nfsnobody UID 65534 should be shot.
