[ale] SuSe Newbie Q: Boots with last login active: How do I 'really' lo gout?

[James Sumners]

Use the kdm configuration tool and set it to not automatically log in
a user (you). I believe you can do it through YaST. The only time I
use SuSE is on my Grandfather's machine so I can't tell you exactly
where to look.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
