Thanks for the info. Sounds none too convenient. I just realized I could just list the /Users directory and filter out the Shared entry. Granted, someone could have created a folder there that isn't really a valid user, but seems like an OK 95% solution. :-)

users = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] directoryContentsAtPath:@"/ Users/"];

Fails spectacularly in some networked environments, though - user home directories aren't necessarily in /Users.
