Clamav system user login on startup

Hello.

After I tried to install
Code: Select all
clamav

The last days a few times without success
I noticed that on startup
I get - beside my normal login button - a second button
"Clamav System Login".
I use KDE.
How could I disable this?

Sidenote
Today I successfully installed clamav via MCC.

Regards
Spinni

What login manager do you use, the default sddm ?

The technical user for clamav should probably be hidden, maybe nobody reported this yet, I don't see any bug report for that.

See /etc/sddm.conf
Code: Select all
# hide system users
# system users using real shells and hence cannot be hidden via HideShells
HideUsers=mysql,apache,mldonkey
HideShells=/sbin/nologin,/bin/false,/usr/sbin/nologin,/bin/true

The clamav user has /bin/sh as shell so it should be added to the HideUsers= list then it will not appear in sddm for login.

Hello.

As I wrote after the failed attempt to install atom
I have now two login button for "system user for sendmail" which I even did not have installed anymore.
So for now I have the clam av user , two sendmail user and my normal user ... :?
I will try to add both to the
Code: Select all
sddm.conf

File.

Hello.

I have edited the
Code: Select all
/ect/sddm.conf


Code: Select all
InputMethod=

[Users]
HideShells=/sbin/nologin,/bin/false,/usr/sbin/nologin,/bin/true
HideUsers=mysql,apache,mldonkey,clamav,sendmail
RememberLastSession=true
RememberLastUser=true

But still got 2 login users for Clamav.

By the way how can I make a screeshot of the login screen?

Best

For the screenshot check: https://fitzcarraldoblog.wordpress.com/ ... er-screen/

Also you mention you edited /ect/sddm.conf - is that a typo ?

My fault. The login is not for clamav but for sendmail.
Later I accidentaly looked into passwd file and found that the user of sendmail is not sendmail but mailnull.
I changed this. I will post whether this changed the login.

Thanks for the link!
