I agree it's not the perfect situation, and yes pressing the keyboard by accident will abort the auto-login. But since you have to supervise your kids when they go on a computer, especially a computer connected to the internet, there should be a parent within shouting distance to help in that case. And I know that we should be teaching kids username/password as soon as possible, But my experience with my kids is that before they are 5 years old they are masters of the mouse and clicking around to play games but not very good at typing words (especially before they learn to read), but after 5 they can start dealing with their own password. But your mileage will vary with your own kids and their individual skill level. -- Daniel Robitaille -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
