Another two big problems with this monster: 1) No more familiar keyboard only typing: login<tab>password<enter> to log in. And no, I don't want to type: <tab><tab><arrow><arrow><arrow><arrow><enter><tab>password<enter> -- and neither does anyone else. 2) How do I log in as root? As a user that's not listed? I only list two users (of *many*) on the login screen. 3) Along with #2, the answer might be "list all users" -- this is a well known BAD security practice--especially if you are using NIS (and there are thousands--for example, at work). We sure don't want the "thanks for telling me the login name of everyone on your entire network just by letting me look at a login screen" syndrome. Anyway, this is perhaps a work in progress, and perhaps it will get better, but it definately should not *replace* kdm. -- Wesley J.
