Thanks, Shawn. I agree with your approach. In fact I've set my several vms for auto login figuring I've already handled that for the host machine, why worry about it in the guests?
However, I'm disinclined to change the password to a null string, if the system would even permit that! And, I don't see an option for auto login under either Security and Privacy, or under Users and Groups. I know I've seen it before, but I'm not finding that now. Disabling auto login while the machine is home, then enabling it for the road would be my preference, I think. Janina Shawn Krasniuk writes: > Hi Janina.
