Automatic Login at Boot
Some time recently my desktop machine with openSUSE 10.0 stopped asking for a login at boot. I didn't do anything (intentional) to cause this. I've looked around in the "Security and Users" section of Yast for an applicable setting, but haven't found one. I've also tried logging out before shutting down. Still, when I boot, I go straight to my desktop. Can anyone tell me (a) what might have caused this and (b) how I can go back to booting to a login screen? Thanks.

Ah, that's it. Thanks. I turned off "Enable Auto-Login" on that tab and now I get a login screen at boot. One other question: This what the login manager screen looks like (both before and after I made the change): http://orbert.net/scratch/login_manager.png Is that "Attention! Read help!" normal, or does it indicate that the login-manager module detects something funky? Thanks, Robert
It's normal. Francesco Robert Morrison wrote:

That keeps the curious , but not necessarily adept , from seeing something they *might* want to change, just to see what it would do .... And then it can get very messy.
