This still won't give you a username prompt as far as I can tell.  If
it works I'm all ears as this behavior drives me nuts (I want to list
a few non-contiguous users as most of my UIDs don't log in and I hate
having to scroll every time I do log in).  I suspect that setting the
minimum UID to a large number would just prevent you from logging in
at all, but please let us know if it works.
