no, no autologin

but subsequent logins (third attempt) was correct, booted to <user> rather than root.

What did you mean by '"booted to" <user>', the default selection in the SDDM greeter had been (unwanted) root and is now (as wanted) <user>???

yes, it did and I didn't change anything. rebooted system for new kernel and it came up as root in graphical mode, runlevel 5. did it again, and the third time came up as the proper user w/o me changing anything.

I don't understand this.

You mean that the login prompt says "root"? Then just change it to user.

no, it automagically booted into graphical mode as root w/o requesting a password. it did it twice. the third time it booted to <user> but did not request a password. I did not set it up this way. kde/plasma, Leap 42.3.

You mean that it says "user" but you type the user password, and you get the "root" sesion? Never seen that.

no

Or you mean that the computer autologins to root? Disable autologin.

I disabled <root> logon in yast users. there is no "autologin" *feature* for kde/plasma that I know of and I have not set it. the machine is remote, 70 miles away, and I will not have local access for a week or two and cannot access <root> account, it does not accept the password. and I have never experienced anything like this. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
