Our default SDDM theme doesn't show a user list, which is good, at least for secure environments where you don't want to disclose the names of valid users. Unfortunately, it does always remember the last user who logged in and automatically fill the user name field. I know this can be convenient for less secure cases, but those cases would be better served with a theme that does show the user list. At least in msec secure mode, it should not be showing any user names.

I do not have a horse in the race and could work with either default but I do not really see a need to change it. If user|administrator, for added security, wishes last user not to be displayed. Set 'RememberLastUser=false' in /etc/sddm.conf It just seems odd to me that we still allow systems to be set-up for autologin but then say we are causing unnessassary security issues by allowing sddm to remember last user.

Thanks Charles, so msec just needs to add that opton to sddm.conf. Bugs like this exist because msec's sddm integration hasn't been written AFAIK. It still only works with kdm and other DM's that have existed longer. No need to think it's odd. We support multiple different use cases.
