[opensuse] Unwanted autologin with no password after power failure
Howdy folks, I had a power failure here. Afterwards I powered up the machine and it came up, but failed to start the graphics, or at any rate I was at the text console -- no login screen. As root I "init 3" then "init 5" with no apparent affect. I then did "init 6". Now when the machine comes up, the login screen is bypassed and I (not root) am automatically logged on without a password. Management is less than thrilled, but nevertheless somewhat excited. Looking at the Login Manager, neither Auto-Login nor Password-Less Logins is enabled. I enabled these, saved and exited the Login Manager, and then went back in and un-enabled them, saved and exited. No difference. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get back to a login screen at boot? openSUSE 11.3 Linux 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop x86_64 KDM 4.4.4-6.1.1 libkde4 4.4.4-3.1.1 Thanks! - Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

there's a bug report about this somewhere, active for years. you have to set the variable in YAST / sysconfig editor. variable name: DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN. if that's nothing (blank), booting will stop at the login screeen. -- phani.
