Well, and if it did not log the user in automatically, then I'd simply boot the box with "init=/bin/bash" and eat your cake anyway. the problem is not protection against computer addicts, but simply family or childs that can read your mail or disturb your config, like any windows do

I've had 2 instances where granddads gave their passwords to their little wonders and it was to their surprise what the kids destroyed. I set up new accounts for the kids and asked the guys to make sure no one knew their own new passwords and write the kids' passwords up in bold letters. I've had kids on Linux desktops since age 4-5 - my own, the neighbours, friends etc. They have all been trained to type a password (even if it was just their own name). It works fine and it sets a precedent.
I couldn't agree more, it's as easy as falling off a log. For most kids you don't even have to teach them, they see a password is needed and they understand what a password is.
