Subject: AUTO LOGIN BUG
Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2007 04:48:05 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46DE8965.6070600@gmail.com> (raw)

Dear whoever is in charge of writing fedora core 7,

The auto login is a wonderful feature. However, there is a HUGE flaw in 
it at the moment. It won't let me log in a root that way. That is MY 
decision, not YOUR decision. Please fix it in an update!!! I'm sick of 
having to log in as root every single time I use my computer. I 
understand that there are situation where people have other people use 
their computer and don't want them to be root. However, I never want to 
be logged in as anything other than root, and I suspect everyone who has 
half a brain is the exact same way. Honestly, have you ever been logged 
in as someone other than root? You absolutely can do nothing on the 
machine. For those who make the argument that someone logged in as root 
might break the machine by doing something they shouldn't, I would say 
it's already broken without being root. You cannot mount drives, edit 
anything about how the /etc directory is setup, or do many other things 
that everyone I know does on a regular basis. IN general, there are 
times when you are logged in as a non-root user when it will ask you for 
a password. That is so inconvenient when you are the only one who uses 
your own computer. PLEASE get root auto login as an option. No one but 
me has to set it up this way, but please give ME the option.

Thank You,

Sean McGuffee
