Just upgraded to 14.04 from 12.04 and cannot eliminate user names from the login screen. (Using classic) Is there a way to make this happen? Apparently the problem has to do with Lightdm being the defautl window manager

Not sure if or how to do this, but if it can't be done using lightdm, you can always install and switch to the old kdm login manager.

The wiki says...
This comment demonstrates a misunderstanding of security. Hiding user names does not solve any security problem. User names are meant to be public identifiers. Furthermore, everyone who can log into the system can run cat /etc/passwd and see the list of user accounts. (Despite the name of this file, it doesn't actually contain passwords. Encrypted are stored in the file /etc/shadow which only root can access.)If you want to disable this (you have too many users or security concerns) use the following configurationComment
