I do not think that you understood me. I do *not* think that what many are arguing for here, GUI root logins as a default 'on' feature, is a good idea for the average new user. Those that have enough experience can change it, if they want to do that. You developers are much too busy to see what those of us that follow the fedora-user list see every day. Many are trying very hard to make a working system and to learn Linux but most are true Newbies that need to be somewhat protected from themselves until they learn a little about Linux. If not they will be as open to 'attack' as most Windows users. -- David
