Fix Recommendation

Configure AlmaLinux OS 9 to disable the user list at logon for graphical user interfaces.

Create a database to contain the systemwide screensaver settings (if it does not already exist) with the following command:

Note: The example below is using the database "local" for the system, so if the system is using another database in "/etc/dconf/profile/user", the file should be created under the appropriate subdirectory.

$ touch /etc/dconf/db/local.d/02-login-screen

[org/gnome/login-screen]
disable-user-list=true

Update the system databases:

$ dconf update

Check Contents

$ gsettings get org.gnome.login-screen disable-user-list
true

If the setting is "false", this is a finding.
