I want to enter my password!!!!

So whats this about?

I've lost my login screen when i first boot my PC! What happens now is that i boot the machine, make my choice of OS (SuSE 10.0) and it goes straight to the only user account for that system. I dont have to enter a username or password or anything, i just find myself on the accounts Desktop!
How worrying!
I've taken a look through my logs including /var/log/messages , boot.log and boot.msg and i dont see anything strange and i haven't changed anything of this nature on the system, well besides deleting an account and group used by Clamav. Does anybody have any ideas what may have caused this and what action i should take to put it right?

If i suspend the system and then boot it back up i will have to type in my username and password, it only seems to happen if i choose to turn the computer off.

You'll want to look at your KDM or GDM configuration (whichever you are using). This is a normal and expected behaviour when configured and easy enough to disable.

I'm using KDM so i guess i need to check out the master config file, /kdmrc. Any idea as to why this might happen seemingly on its own? I 've made a few updates recently, most notably to kaffeine for dvd watching purposes, ohh... and a kernel update using YOU.

I believe you can change it in KDE Control Centre. At least you could last time I used it back in KDE 3.4.

Go to Personnel settings->System Admin->Login Manager ->Convenience

Note: you will need to press the Admin button and give root password to change anything.
