I've looked around in the menus and googled this, but I can't find a way to make the login require a username instead of just showing the available users to select from. ?Where do I change this? ?I'm using CentOS 6.5. Thanks, -wes
Switch to KDM instead of GDM as the default display manager. This will change the login screen and require typing a username which is much more secure. It will not change your desktop but you may have to select GNOME or KDE the first time you log in if you have both installed.

It's a very popular topic across all OSes and distros that run Gnome. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2011-July/115120.html Alternatively, you can edit /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml directly.
