Your assertion that auto login makes "SUSE easier to use" is baseless; patently false. If you have proof to the contrary, show me the research and I'll take it under consideration. Meanwhile, I doubt you believe the need for a password makes your ATM "harder" to use. It is more prudent... not to mention more consistent with the design philosophy behind *nix... to default to the setting which is more private and secure. Yes, I think auto login is a nice *feature*, but it should be a feature that requires a bit of knowledge, forethought and effort to enable instead of one that gets set automatically through oversight or ignorance. IOW, if you're going to err, err on the side of caution instead of convenience. You're talking about people's privacy and security here. - Carl
