Err, I was actually speaking from experience.

That setting is from my Desktop machine running Fedora 10, which is 
connected to an LDAP directory. The search DN for this machine currently 
has 24 users in it.

My login screen currently shows Me and "Other..."

I have to admit that I haven't asked anyone else to login so it may be 
that it contains everyone who has logged in, the last user or some other 
smaller list - but it certainly doesn't contain everyone in the directory.
