There is another option in the config file # Hidden users HideUsers= No documentation that I've found but if it takes a non-contiguous list then it might help get rid of some of the list. Or take your chances and reassign user numbers? I don't personally have a lot of interest but I see that it apparently runs a setup script which could probably be modified: [XDisplay] # Xsetup script path # A script to execute when starting the display server DisplayCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup The other thing I liked about kdm was that the login only showed on my first monitor whereas sddm is showing it on all 3. Not a big deal as I pretty much boot up in the morning and log in. Cheers, Mark
