It is regression from kdm. I have a user with uid less than 1000 and it is not listed in sddm. kdm was perfect, gdm3 had an option to enter, but sddm is unusable for me. Same would be for root login.

If you have users with an uid lower than 1000 you need to create an /etc/sddm.conf file with:

[Users]
MinimumUid=100

See to sddm.conf(5) manpage for more options.

It is worse than that :
I am on a system with more then 900 users, sddm does not even present all of them : I cannot log in.

PS: this is more a bug of the default sddm them (sddm-theme-breeze), but I cannot find a way t change it when ssh connected.

You can either install a different theme and remove the sddm-theme-breeze package or, without removing sddm-theme-breeze, set your prefered theme in the /etc/sddm.conf file under:

[Theme]
Current=maui

Happy hacking,
