You may be right. But I guess 80-90% of all average users are not capable or willing to do this. In case they find a netbook lying somewehere they will either give it to authorities or just innstall a new OS and format the HDD by doing this. So using a mediocre secure password for login is better than doing nothing. So why not making a password login optional? If you don't trust it, don't use it. It won't hurt anybody but helps some. :) _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List dev@moblin.org To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: http://lists.moblin.org/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
