No, no, no. I'm talking about the pop-up login box. If you're running webmin, go to that url: https://localhost:10000/ or whatever, and you'll get a Netscape/Mozilla popup box that just wants Username: and Password: (just exactly like on an XDM login screen). I'm not talking web form, I'm talking login popup. It's a separate window from what's being displayed in the Netscape/Mozilla window. This box should work exactly like XDM/KDM/GDM/WDM does (and Netscape 4.x does). As I said, I was weaned on UNIX. All login boxes get an automatic username<Enter>, I don't even think about it. It's like the <Enter> is part of the username. Other OSs may do their own thing, but I dare you to find any one of the 106+ UNIX variants that do anything different with a login prompt. I'm too old and have too many years doing the same thing to change now. I just need to know how to change Mozilla to act for me like it should, not like some M$lop knockoff. (On those extremely rare instances where I have to log into a M$ box, I usually have someone else do it for me since it seems to reject my long-standing username<Enter> habit. So to repeat my question for the umpteenth time, how do I make Mozilla do the Right Thing(tm)? Ciao, David A.
