CentOS - Aug 2011 - tweek startup and logon

Dear All,

CentOs 6 is great, but I would like to get back 2 things from 5.6 :

how can I always see the text lines during startup? (so no graphical 
screen )
how can I *not *see all the users on the system when loging on? (so that 
users also have to remember their username)

thanks for any advise.

James

Hi Johan,
1. look for  this 2 words: "rhgb quiet" in in
"/boot/grub/grub.conf and
remove them
2. sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type bool --set 
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true

Hope this helps 
 
Gru?
