All of this sounds like things you would see in a company, where coworkers hack each other. But in a company, I'd expect that someone sets up the systems that can tell apart softlinks and hardlinks. And such a person would not use auto login.
I have installed SUSE several times now on my system (Well, Beta's and RC1) and although I try to think about it, I have forgotten it a few times. I can imagine if an IT person has to do installs and is not using imaging or other pre-configured ways to do it, he will forget it too. Configures the admin account, then runs a script in [CTRL][ALT][F1]. I am not saying it should be impossible, I am just saying that I make the first user the maintainer and that person should get the mail as well and should not log in automagically. I am the only person working on this machine and there are only two users that can log in. root (wich never logs in) and houghi. Yet I still always log in. Good practice, I think, just like wearing a seatbelt in a car, it becomes a natural thing, even if I only need to move my car 20 meters. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
