FACTOID 1:
The standard icons that pandora displays for each user may be replaced
with small images. These images may be located in one of three places:
$HOME/.4sight/icons/login.icon, /usr/local/lib/faces/$USER, or
/usr/lib/faces/$USER.
FACTOID 2:
The file "/etc/passwd.sgi" contains a list of users. If the username
is followed by a ":noshow", that user icon will not be shown.
QUESTION:
I do not want pandora to scan all $HOME/.4sight/... directories. We
have over 100 users whose home directories are on various machines.
This takes tooooooo loooooong. Instead, I would like to do one of the
following:
1: Remove $HOME/.4sight/icons/login.icon from the search path.
or
2: Put something like "user:show" in the /etc/passwd file so that only
these users are searched.
Is there is way to do this?
