Get rid of login security?


Recommended Posts

I know it sounds weird, but is there any way to get rid of a login password for a/all users? It's killing security I know, but it's just a family computer and we never used them on windows.

thanx!

actually, I found it on google... It's just passwd -d username! Even in Xlogin, you don't get a password dialog. You can also do this for root (Not recommended tho!)

Run Linux with no security? Isn't that called Windows or Lindows? :shifty:

On the serious side, though, are you sure you want auto-login and no passwords? If so, please don't give any of these accounts root-level access (and leave the PW on root!).

I think for a Windows-centric user, having the login screen come up, but no PW should be OK. Leave root login with a password.

Just my 2 cents. :)

Yea, that's what I've already done, it's because my family is too used to the xp welcome login :(... Next I have to make a GDM theme that looks like XP to make them happy, keep getting xml errors tho, is there a way to test a login theme w/o logging out, and then having to startx again? (probably some program)

anyways, thanx to all who helped

Just download the Tweak XP powertoy from Microsoft. That gives options for autologon...

Or looking at what forum it is.

Just remember to give root a password, or if not post the IP here and we'll show you why you need a password :whistle:
