This bug also causes all users home directories to mount if they're setup in autofs. This is especially detrimental if your autofs maps contain thousands of users. Lightdm and autofs will slowly grind through mounting home directories looking for:
~/.dmrc ~/.face ~/.face.icon These mounts stay around in /etc/mtab, which causes reboots/shutdowns to take extremely long while the system then umounts all the directories. This not only affects the local system, but if hundreds of systems in an environment are doing this it causes unnecessary load on backend services. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857651 Title: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher Status in D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account information: Confirmed Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Users that I have appended to the 'hidden-users' field in /etc/lightdm/users.conf are not actually hidden.
