+ <para>
+ To provide more detail on how this option works. When this key
+ is true, GDM will call fgetpwent() to get a list of local users
+ on the system. The Face Browser also will display any users
+ that have previously logged in on the system (for example
+ NIS/LDAP users). It gets this list via calling the ck-history
+ ConsoleKit interface. It will also filter out any users which
+ do not have a valid shell (valid shells are any shell that
+ getusershell() returns. <filename>/sbin/nologin</filename> or
+ <filename>/bin/false</filename> are considered invalid shells
+ even if getusershell() returns them).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If false, then GDM more simply only displays users that have
+ previously logged in on the system (local or NIS/LDAP users) by
+ calling the ck-history ConsoleKit interface.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In both cases, GDM filters out any users with a UID less than
+ 500 (or 100 if running on Solaris). Such users are considered
+ system users.
