Mdk9.2: Logs directly into a user!


Hello,I just installed Mdk9.2 for the first time. I am baffled as upon booting it directly logs in as a user (only one user is there at the moment), without asking for password! I changed the 'standard' security to 'high', but that doesn't seem to change this behavior. Can anyone help me please...
TIA.

This is an option you might have inadvertently activated on the install (I remember seeing it in 9.1 and 9.2 and thinking to myself that if I wasn't careful, it would be activated). Personally its one of the points in the install that disappointed me.

Now how to fix this....either in the Mandrake Control Centre or the KDE settings (for some reason) there will be an option to check where it says "automatically log in user on boot" and you have to uncheck that.
(sorry I cant be more precise...I don't have my machine with me today)

thanks tcaptain. Going thrugh docmumentation I already found what I faltered, but had no clue as to how to fix it! Your trick worked, thanks. For a redhat addict like me, indeed it was a big shocking and unbelivable to find/conceive such an option! But now that it works, that's fine.
Have a nice day.
