Hey Mark,

From man sddm.conf
       MinimumUid=
              Minimum user id of the users to be listed in the user
interface.  Default value is 1000.
       MaximumUid=
              Maximum user id of the users to be listed in the user
interface.  Default value is 60000

Presume if you just set MinimumUid to some high value - you'd get the
behaviour you desire.

To generate a sample sddm.conf - "sddm --example-config" (optionally
redirect to file)
This is missing from the manpage - but is there in the sddm -h output...

Cheers,
malc.
