Issue

  • Disable user-list for gdm login screen in RHEL7.
  • Boot the machine and leave for a few minutes. The screen goes blank. Move the mouse and the "screen shield" appears. Lift the shield,
    type a username and press Enter. It then ignores what user typed and prompts for the username again.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0
  • gdm-3.8.4-27.el7.x86_64
