Title:
  User accounts with id higher than 60000 are not shown in Trusty

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Version: 0.6.35-0ubuntu7

  This bug is visible in lightdm, but it's actually a problem in
  Trusty's accountsservice.  The code in user-classify.c forces the user
  account to be between 1000 and 60000.  Any accounts higher than 60000
  are considered systems accounts and not shown in lightdm.

  In Utopic this is fixed by modifying the code to not take into account
  any maximum, but rather use the minimum and then filter "nobody" and
  "nobodynfs".

  Editing login.defs is possible but is not enough, because in that
  case, nobody isn't filtered.

  The patch is quite small and can be backported to Trusty without much
  issue.
