Hiding some users in the user list of the OSX 10.6 login panel

Hiding some users in the user list of the OSX 10.6 login panel Is there a way to show only some users in the login panel? I'm using OSX 10.6, and if I recall correctly I did something like that in a distant past but I really can't find out how.

"While there appears to be nothing that graphically allows you to hide and show users, you can add a | to the beginning of the user displayed name, so that he appears last in the list.
Another sign which does that is §.
Some other signs instead make the user appear on top of the list."

"My user account on my laptop is hidden, annoys me, but I can't get it to un-hide.

What I did was change the UID of that account to 1000 (to match the UID of my account on our NFS server). I suspect this is what removed my account from the login screen.

Be careful changing your UID (can be done through the advanced settings in the user pref pane). Doing this will not fix file ownership. You must do this by hand.

Make sure you leave yourself a clean admin account so you can fix things if they break."
