[PLUG] New System Setup

[Kirk Goins]

Well I think I have the system pretty much where I need it for now. I have
the firewall only allowing FTP and HTTP on the outside address and both
servers appear to be working fine.  Also have VNC working on the inside
interface.

I do have a question. I setup a couple of users for the purpose of FTPing.
Each has files it its /home directory. On my Mandrake system it was more
server like and a user had to login then startx if they wanted the GUI.
Ubuntu is starting in X and I see all the users I setup. I would just as
soon not see them on the GUI startup/login screen. Is t here a way to hide
these extra users?
