I actually see this as a feature as I don't like advertising to external
sources what account names I have.

I also think people should know what their login ID is. Click interfaces fo=
r
logging in should only be for people under 3 years old :).

Look at the /etc/passwd entry for your new user. Does it have a shell? If
not, change the default shell to be /bin/bash and see if that fixes the
issue for you.

BTW, I had no idea what you were talking about until the PS. I thought you
meant something like having tetris running while waiting for someone to
login, or being able to specify the screen saver for non-logins.
