This is a question that I always put on the backburner, but it has been bugging me for quite a while. 
I set up all the Macs in my office which are currently running OS 10.4.7 with two account users, an administrator account and a specific user account.
I wanted to set up the login screen so it showed both accounts. The old G4's and G3's (these used the OS X install DVD's to set up) show both account pictures and login names, you just have to type in the password. Our new 20" Intel iMacs that came with OS X only show the specific user account picture and login name.
Both types of computers have the option Display login window as: list of users selected and the box show the Restart, Sleep and Shut Down buttons checked. There is no other difference in the Login Options page.
Not being an expert, I enabled the root user account to see what would happen and I get a login page that says Other and when I click on it I can type in both the administrator user name and password. Not knowing enough about root users, I disabled that after seeing what it did. It still is not the page I am looking for.
The only thing I can think of is that when I used the DVD disk, I did something to the account setup to enable both to be seen, but I cannot figure out what.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
