Suse is running great but I have a few problems

[bignester]

Problem number 1:
It doesnt require me to enter a password to login in as me. I have two users for this computer and one just logs in without a password. I've tried to just change the password but it didn't change it still logs in without needing a password.

Problem number 2:
My USB drives no longer automount when I plug them in. It just stopped one time when I pluged in my ipod, I can mount it manually with root but thats so annoying.

Thanx for anyhelp.

1: Does it login automatically when it boots? or does it wait to pick a user, then one of the users can login with out a password?

2: What version of SuSE are you using? 9.2 mounts things for me much better than 9.1 did

To take out the auto-login, go to Control Center>System Administration> Login Manager. The tab at the far right, "Convenience", click on that, Click on Administrator mode. Then take the check box out of "Login Automatically.

As for the mounting problem, I wish I could help you there.

I can think of maybe 2 things that might help with the mounting issue.

First off, in the bottom-right of the desktop, do you see a SuSE Hardware Tool? Right-click it and hit configure. Check if autostarting hard drives is checked. If it's not, check it.

If it is checked, or if the above doesn't even apply for you, I can think of maybe one other thing. Enter the terminal and run "vi /etc/fstab". Is there a line "/dev/sda1"? If so, check the options at the end to see if "noauto" is there. If it is, try removing that. I think that noauto only applies at system startup, but that might be the problem here.
