The current Unity greeter does not show an "Other..." option. It
actually should IMHO, but this is tracked in bug 844044.

Title:
  Unity Greeter - By default the 'Other' login option should not be
  displayed

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity Greeter:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  By default the 'Other' login option should not be displayed.  It
  should only be displayed if a user has specifically switched on a
  option to add it to the greeter.

  The visual appearance of the 'Other' login option should  follow the
  same design as the 'network login', but with the word "Network"
  removed from the Username and Password fields.

  Desired Resolution:
  - The 'Other' login option should be disabled by default, and only enabled if /etc/nsswitch.conf's "passwd" is anything other than "compat"
  - The appearance of the 'Other' login option should match that of the Network Login option, see attached login_22_08_11_network.png design.

  _________________

  In usability testing, participants did not succeed in selecting the
  login requested by the task.  Instead of selecting the login ID, which
  they did not appear to see, they typed the ID in the text field.
