I have created a user called training using the adduser command and user training appears in the login screen. How to not show any particular user in the login screen? I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with the default Unity.

Tried it out and doesn't work. – Praveen Sripati Jun 29 '13 at 06:21
Editing the users.conf file? How about giving the user a UID less than 500? Try sudo usermod -u 499 training. Check that it changed by grep training /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f3, which should output 499. – Alaa Ali Jun 29 '13 at 07:30
changing the UID for the user worked – Praveen Sripati Jun 29 '13 at 11:53
