I recently moved to Suse 9.1 Professional from Red Hat. I configured the system as a stand-alone box without automatic login. For about the first week or so I was presented with a login dialog. However, now whenever the machine us booted it automatically logs on to my user account. While this saves me a couple of keystrokes, this is NOT the behavior I want. There are multiple users on this machine and I want the login dialog displayed at boot time. I've checked the settings for each user in YAST and none of them are set for automatic login. Is there anything I can do to change the behavior back to what it was? Thanks in advance. -- John Burski S.I.M.U. -- And still looking for something profound or witty to put in my signature file.

I'm not sure what caused it but there's a recent thread on how to solve it: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Oct/3066.html You can also try the archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&r=1&w=2 Use "automatic login" for your keywords and see what comes up. -- - E - on SUSE 9.1 | blackbox 0.65 | copperwalls was here ;) "Look!

Assuming KDE: CVlick on the Gecko, Click on Control Center, Choose System Administration Choose Login Manager Choose Administrator Mode Input root password at the prompt Select the Convenience Tab Uncheck the Enable auto-login option Mike
Thanks! I should have noted that I was using the KDE desktop. Nice catch! Just what the doctor ordered! Thanks again! On Sat, 2004-10-30 at 11:03, Mike McMullin wrote:
