I'm a user of Debian who also makes use of autologin for the same reason as Soeren, namely:
"Encrypted filesystem (root/home). So directly after booting you enter your system password and it is just annoying to type your user password again. In this case logging off really -> $SHELL has security implications." -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
