Bug Description

Even If setting load-users=false, lightdm + unity-greeter still shows user list.

lightdm.conf says:
  load-users = true if can provide user list to greeter

How to reproduce:
 1. uncommnet load-users and set the value from true to false
 2. $ sudo service lightdm restart

Expected:
 3. user list is not shown. only shown text field to input user name.

Actual result:
 3. user list is still shown.

thank you for your bug report but the key is called "greeter-hide-users" in the current version and works fine in the gtk greeter, it seems to make the unity greeter hang though.

Robert, could you check if you get that issue as well?

affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) → unity-greeter (Ubuntu)
summary: - load-users=false in lightdm.conf is not honored
+ greeter-hide-users=false breaks the unity greeter
