The default login screen for almalinux-9.3 workstation shows a list of existing login user names. User clicks desired user name, and then is presented with a text widget to type in the associated password for that user name.
For better traditional login security (i.e. avoiding telling a person viewing the login screen the available user names), how does one change this login screen protocol to require both the user name and the associated password to be typed in?
I found that the following will solve this problem, removing the list of available usernames from the workstation login screen, and requiring first a username to be typed in, and then the associated password for that username.
[Install the dbus-x11 package. Temporarily allow the gdm user access to one’s X11 screen. Run the gsettings command as user gdm to suppress the usernames on the workstation’s login screen.]
Anyhow, the approach does create file /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-login-screen that contains disable-user-list=true and after GDM is eventually happy about that.
