How to remove a user from SDDM Login window?
I have two user accounts on my Linux Mint KDE 18.2 machine:
- One is me (say
chitholian) as a sudo-privileged user withSHELL=/bin/bash. - Another user (say
csecu) without sudo havingSHELL=/bin/ftponly(a custom shell that actually does nothing).
I created the second account so that my classmates can have access via FTP for file sharing, but I don't want to allow them to login via ssh or anything else except FTP.
My problem is when I boot up, the login window shows both accounts, even after I have changed the shell of that second user to disable his shell activity.
I want to hide that user account from the login dialog too. How should I go about achieving this goal?

Edit /etc/sddm.conf. Under [Users] you find a setting called HideUsers=. Just add the user there. Since the user you want to hide uses another shell you could also use the setting HideShells in the same section.
