Leaving the user list enabled is a security risk since it allows anyone with physical access to the system to enumerate known user accounts without authenticated access to the system.
Check
Note: This requirement assumes the use of the RHEL 9 default graphical user interface, the GNOME desktop environment. If the system does not have any graphical user interface installed, this requirement is Not Applicable.
Verify that RHEL 9 disables the user logon list for graphical user interfaces with the following command:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.login-screen disable-user-list
true
If the setting is "false", this is a finding.
Fix
Configure RHEL 9 to disable the user list at logon for graphical user interfaces.
