This is a mitigation to a yet unresolved nic problem with OptiPlex 990 workstations. If we have a local passwd, the accountsservice daemon will query shadow.byname over udp for each account. Because of the network problem, we sometimes loose packets and run into rpc timeouts, which are not properly handled and prevent gdm to display the login window. Avoid this mess by disabling the loading of user information. We don't need it, because we don't present a list of users to pick from anyway. --
