Can I control which OD user accounts show up in the login list?

[FinalDragoon06]

I’m starting to prepare our Mac labs for the upcoming Fall semester and I am running into a few issues with the way that “the man” wants the computers set up.

We’re a community college that does not have user accounts for each student. All the Windows boxes use Deep Freeze with a generic user account. They want similar functionality user-account wise (a generic account). However I need that to be network managed via OD. They are currently set to autologon to the network account, but I’ve visited the lab/used ARD to find that they are either in the local user which I left from our first attempt at setting things up a year ago, or sitting at the login prompt.

A solution would be just having the user accounts listed as the “generic account” and “Other…” so as to not confuse the user if it gets logged out. Is there a method where this is possible?

Thanks for any help
