Login missing on Turn Off / Restart

Hi! I'm running SuSE 10.0 boxed Ed. on a laptop with P4, 512RAM, behind a hardware firewall. All patches are installed. I'm using the KDE Desktop. When I Restart or turn on my computer after I Turn Off, the login screen requiring me to enter my login name and password and let me choose my Session Type is missing. However, if I choose "End Curent Session," the Login/Password/SessionType screen will appear. The computer does require me to enter my Root Pasword to turn off the computer. But, this is a laptop that I sometimes take with me on the road, so I'd really like to require password protection to start it to protect my privacy. Thank you, -Joe G
