mounted via NFS. You do the frickin' math on that.) What I'm hearing
is that I'll be SOL and had better be evaluating other display managers.
You have not actually tried it, have you ? Your 10000 network users are
not going to show up in the user list, since we only populate the list
with local users.
Now I'm not afraid to edit a config file, I actually prefer it,

gone and XML is at best read only for humans. It's a package deal guys,
if you go the XML route you MUST provide a tool to manipulate it.
Not sure which xml file you are talking about. Last time I
checked, /etc/gdm/custom.conf had the same format as always...
