Domain User Names Listed on Login Screen?

Default Domain User Names Listed on Login Screen?

Is there a way to make domain usernames "sticky" so that they will always
appear on the login screen?

This is intended for use in a small office with few users. I just thought
it would be easier to click on the name, type password, and you're in.

The best I can do so far is login as one user, go to switch user, and log in
as another. Then, both domain users are listed on the login screen.

Keep in mind that by leaving the last logged on username available, anyone
that is interested in gaining access to the computer has half of what they
need to do so. I know this doesn't answer your question, but hopefully it
is useful info.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I know it's a little bit of a security issue, but in this location I'm
not very concerned about security. It's a very small office running only 6
PC's off of a SuSE Samba PDC, with very little sensitive information.

Anyway, thanks for the advice though.
