Yes you really need logins and passwords, there is a nice work around if
the site is secure (eg, your house) use rungetty, you'll beable to have it
spawn shells or X servers as the specified user (don't ever do this with
the root login, imagine your dogs/cats/kids/whoever eraseing the whole pc
with a typo into the wrong screen or dropping the keyboard)
